Running

[Tom Yum]

Ran a mile and a quarter on the field with someone else timing in 9:44. Awesome time!!!! Especially because the elevation was way higher than I'm used to and just breathing was qi gong. Also it was early in the morning, I was sleep-deprived and it was before breakfast. Rock. I'm starting to think the treadmill makes me slower because it limits my stride length...

Nice.

Just checkin' in since I've been offline.

Two days ago, I ran 3 miles in a slow, steady 8:00 and then did about 1200 meters of sprints.

Yesterday I ran 2 miles in just under 15:00 followed by supersets of pullups, pushups, chinups, and varations of those excercises by grip and arm length.


Today, I'm going to bump it up a bit with a run and a swim...

Damn, Chris. You're one lean and mean motha!

I'm gettin there, wanna drop down to super middleweight

Swam 1 mile in 47 minutes, jumped out of the water and ran 1.5 miles in 10:37

I really wanted to stop after running that 1st mile, but I tried to push it a little more.

Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Knees to elbows
50 Push press
50 Back extensions

I want in on this thread.

Today I did-

60 situps, 60 twisting situps, 60 crunches, 60 leg raises, 40 push ups

then ran 3 and a half lap of the field close by before my shin started to hurt.

Came back and did 3 x 3 minute rounds of shadow boxing. In between rounds was 10 clapping pushups, 20 bodyweight rows, 10 knuckle pushups

Then 3 sets of 20 pushups different variations.

----

Later I'll do my heavy jumping squats and heavy good-mornings , forearm weight training, then finish off the day with stretching, aikido class and pushups before bed

Well, I didn't quite get all these in, even though I was at the gym for way more than an hour. Skipped box jumps b/c I didn't have a box. Skipped knees to elbows.

50 pull-ups 60# assist (11/3/6/5/7/8/6/4)
50 dumbbell swings 15#
Walking Lunge, 50 steps
50 Push press 24# barbell (11/4/7/7/5/5/7/4)
50 Back extensions (11/16/23)
50 Wall ball shots 8# ball (15/15/15/5)
50 Burpees (6/7/6/6/5/6/7/7)
50 Tuck jumps (as if! they weren't even good regular jumps at that point.

All this on maybe four hours sleep. Ladies and gentlemen, this is crossfit on sleep deprivation.

tomorrow back extensions and maybe some ma if i'm up for it.

Saturday about two and a half hours of MA and drills designed to wear me out with a friend from out of town, plus 7 24# back squats.

Yesterday, pilates, 45 pull-ups (60# assist) and 45 push presses (24#) divided into three rounds; I think it was 21/15/9. These 60# assisted pullups are getting easier, soon I'll have to go to 50, eek!!

I would love to hear from people who are juggling school, several jobs, etc. with trying to work out AND do MA; how do you keep up with it all.

2 supersets consisting of 7 excercises per set, no rest in between ea. excercise working major groups and expending alot of energy.

Rope work 4 x 3 min rounds.

Today's workout

1000 meter swim 30 min.

Boy your legs feel funny in the middle of that run having just been in 0 g like environment...

[treelizard]

Today's workout, divided into five sets:
Rowing, 2500 meters
Knees to elbows, 75
Back extensions, 75

This took me a grand total of 46 minutes, gotta work on time. KTE was my weak point, gotta burn off those callouses or something.

[treelizard]

All right, if I post this workout, then maybe I will get my butt to the gym and actually do it. It's a million degrees in the desert in the summer, and I don't want to do squat. But I will!

For time:
treadmill 400 meters
50 Pull-ups (with assistance, still)
treadmill 400 meters
50 Push-ups
treadmill 1/4 mile
50 sit-ups
treadmill 1/4 mile
50 air squats

[treelizard]

Run times were pathetic: 2:25, 2:30, 3:01, 3:16
Had to do split sets of every excercise I did:
Pullups 15/6/4/6/5/5/4/5
Pushups 12/5/10/7/7/9
Situps 25/10/15
Air squats 40/10

My only excuse for my poor performance is that I didn't eat much today except for food foraged from the garden and Gatorade...
