  • Notes: Swimming down at sea level has been pretty ridiculous...busted out a 9:20 - which is a pr - without breaking much of a sweat. My technique has felt a lot better but it's surprising how much the altitude has had an effect. Didn't have time for much lifting today. 
  • Body: Calves are still a little sore, not much improvement with the ankle. Getting a lot of sleep, diet has been so so.

2 minutes situps - 65

4.6 mile trail run up mesa, soft snow

100 situps, unanchored



  • Notes: Got a big snow last night, so doing the 1.5 mile at the track wasn't really an option. Got a nice soft sand-type run in on the trails though. Really pleased about my swim time improvement. Went back to my frog kick which feels much better and really tried to work the walls. Hopefully I can get that down below 9 minutes soon. Situps...really need work.
  • Body: Feeling pretty good. Right ankle has been sore for the past week or so, dunno what that's about.

5 x 100m css hard @ 1:47
2 minutes rest between

300m easy css
150m scissor kick drills



  • Notes: 3/5. Wasn't feeling all that strong today, but am definitely healthier from yesterday. Swim form is starting to come together - the drills really helped today. I think I need to work on my kick exclusively for a little bit. 
  • Body: Neck is a little sore from some shenanigans the other night. Sinuses are pretty congested, hopefully I will be over this in a few days.
  • General: For swimming and running I have started following the NSW physical training guide of one LSD, one interval, and one continuous high intensity session per week. Since swimming is where I need the most improvement, I am more focused on meeting those requirements and will probably do closer to two interval sessions per week at the expense of fewer running sessions. First official PST should be coming up soon so that's where I am focusing.

  • Notes: 3/5. Another good day. Squats didn't feel as strong at 225, but that was kind of expected. Swim is starting to come along now that I am getting my turns down off the wall. Got some good knot tying work in as well and wasn't having any trouble getting to depth.

  • Notes: 3/5. Really productive day today. Felt especially strong on the track. First time doing underwater knot tying which I think is good to go ahead and get exposed to. Had a little trouble clearing my left ear at first but eventually it was fine. Mostly just worked on square and bowline knots tonight. I really need to get my css technique squared away, so that is going to be the priority for the moment.
  • Body: Little soreness here and there, but feeling pretty strong.

  • Body: Sore as shit. Glutes, hamstrings, and abs are the worst of it. Feeling solid other than that.

  • Notes: 3/5. Really good pool session last night. I found a major flaw in my css kick - I have essentially been dolphin rather than scissor kicking. Once I made the change my stroke felt much faster and more efficient. Getting pretty comfortable with mask work, now just need to take it to some deeper water.
  • Body: Feeling pretty good, though a little low on sleep lately. Forearms are really sore from climbing friday night.

  • Notes: 3/5. Trying to tweak with my css form a little bit to stay a little bit more on my side versus facing the bottom of the pool after the kick. Felt a little bit tighter and stronger in general.
  • Body: Getting over a stomach bug that I got over thanksgiving - stomach is finally returning to normal. Got some good lifts in over the break, spent most of it extremely sore. It was a pretty solid week of destroying the calves.

I had planned on doing the swim tomorrow but I had some extra time and energy today.

  • Notes: 3/5. Worked on getting overhead today. Shoulder is still a little stiff on overhead squats and I have trouble externally rotating in the bottom, but overall feeling decent. The lunges were getting tough by the end.

  • Notes: 3/5. Decent today. Tricep was a little tight and slow to warm up so I took it easy on the pushups and didn't do any in the metcon as I had planned. Spent the majority of the day sitting so I was a little stiff.
  • Body: Triceps are pretty sore down by the insertions. Must be from two days ago. Energy levels are fine, school work is starting to pile up.

pool recovery

1030

300m css w/u

10 x 25m underwater swim
rest 2:00 for 1-5
rest 1:30 for 6-10

on the last one I hit one extra wall off at the end, so it ended up being about 35m



  • Notes: 2/5. Felt good underwater today. Started to get a little tired towards the end but I can knock out 25 underwater without blinking an eye now. Going to start adding a little bit more distance once or twice per session just to get comfortable closing in on 50m.
  • Body: RHR 56 - a little bit high this morning. Glutes and hams are a little sore today, as well my anterior shoulders. Surprised I'm not more sore though.
  • General: Tomorrow will be another rest day and then will get back after it this weekend.

1200


TGU warm up

Cals: 1 minute maxes, 60s rest in between
pushups - 45

3 x 5 x 155#

back extensions
1 x 20



  • Notes: 4/5. Tougher day as my squat is kinda weak right now. First time front squatting since the time I took off for the shoulder and I could tell I wasn't quite as strong. Pushups felt totally fine and I think I am ready to train them without reservations.
  • Body: RHR 52. Feeling good in general. Triceps a little sore.
  • General: For programming I am now following the SOFwods.com template. Pulling back on the lifting a little bit in favor of swimming and calisthenics, which are what I need to work on. A few more higher intensity cf work will be thrown into the mix as well, but my focus needs to be pool work and getting my PST scores higher so that is where I will be putting the majority of my effort. Practice PST early next week.

  • Body: RHR 45-55. Traps are destroyed this morning from those cleans, yikes. Feeling good. Tracking my resting heart rate every morning, I have noticed it is higher in the morning after I have consumed alcohol the night before.

20#, 25#, 30#

pushups

50 situps

  • Notes: Easy day to start working on some calisthenics again. It's been a while so I am pretty weak right now. Pushups are feeling good, still holding back on them a little bit just to be safe.
  • Difficulty: 2 of 5. Going to start tracking how each session feels to try to keep an eye on my training and recovery.
  • Body: Basically totally recovered from the race, and it feels great. I probably still have some soft tissue tightness that could be dealt with, but overall I feel great. Won't kick up the intensity until early next week though just to give my body a little break.
