  • Notes: 3/5. Good day of training. The running intervals were a little tougher than they should have been, especially the 800s. Could feel myself start to overextend and lose my core towards the end of these, things I never would have noticed when I ran in high school. Tried to really dial that in. I had planned on doing the swim tomorrow but I had some extra time and energy today.
  • Body: RHR 52. Shoulders, chest, and triceps are pretty sore. Little bit tired today, gonna try to catch up on sleep tonight.

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.

cals, BS, FS, thrusters

1200


TGU warm up

Cals: 1 minute maxes, 60s rest in between

thruster practice @ 45, 65, 95#

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.

  • 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.
