Big scary training log

Super easy tonight

Hang snatch.

2 x 15kg
2 x 20kg
2 x 22.5kg
5 x 2 x 25kg

Had a little niggle in my shoulder so left it at 25.

Metcon:
1,000 skips for time
5 burpees every minute

Time 8:51 so 40 burpees >.<

1 hour of yoga

Yoga was the hardest!

60 minute metcon which I couldn't complete because my poxy back started to spasm :mad:

15 sit-ups on the minute every minute for 10 minutes
10 x 35kg deadlifts on the minute every minute for 10 minutes
10 x 35kg backsquats on the minute every minute for 10 minutes
On my 9th set my back went. Stretched out for 2 minutes. Went into next workout 1 minute late.
6 x burpee box jumps every minute on the minute for 10 minutes
20 x 20kg kettlebell swings every minute on the minute for 10 minutes
Got to 4th round and back gave in. So that was me done. Never got to last workout. Raging.

So total of:
150 sit-ups
100 x 35kg deadlifts
54 x burpee box jumps
87 x 35kg back squats
70 x 20kg kb swings

In 47 minutes.


Alright I suppose. Just pissed I didn't finish. On the brightside I now have a stretch named after me in the gym.

Oh god. My poor abandoned training log.

I've done NOTHING bar walk the dog and yoga until this morning (unless you count a whole lot of dancing!!)

I was on a hen in Galway and there was an awful lot of alcohol involved so a small amount of cardio this morning would have been just lovely. But no. No. There were sprints and burpees. Sprints and fcuking burpees I actually puked on the last round

Also I have never done Bulgarian Split Squats before. They're good craic aren't they? >.>

Bulgarian Split Squats

8 x BW
8 x 10kg
8 x 12kg
8 x 16kg
8 x 16kg

Could definitely go a hell of a lot heavier there but was more about form than weight.

Metcon

10 burpees
200 metre sprint (heh, the last few were more like light jogs)

10 rounds.

So 100 burpees and 2km took me 19 minutes and something :pac:

OOOOOOPS.

Oh no. Noooooooo. How can anyone prefer burpees to anything?!

My timing was actually alright by the end of the day, I was last in the 6am class but throughout the day it became a fairly ok time and I had a heaviest female spilt squat of the day (along with a couple of others) so not so bad I guess

I wanted to run last night but bit of a disaster in work meant I ended up there til all hours and left starving. Really disappointed. I'll run today but I expect my ass and hamstrings to be pretty ouchies later and they're already fairly tender!

Onwards and upwards.

Is it competitive? Would people be constantly trying to pass each other out?
I think I'd like that

I would be more competitive in crossfit than I would in running, but I think that's because I know I'm much more capable at crossfit than I am at running.

It's hard to explain, it's not competitive in the traditional sense, and it's not meant to be and I know I'm not as fit as most people there. It's like I'm not trying to beat the people on my level. I'm trying to catch the people who are fitter, faster, and stronger than me.

Does that make any sense?

5 easy sunshiney kilometres. My legs were tight and I was slow but my god I missed running on an evening like this

I DID A DOUBLE UNDER

\o/ -o- \o/

Quiet week this week. A rest from crossfit to ease me back into a running plan. Only 3 easy runs this week.

Tuesday was 30 mins easy. No hassle there.

Tonight was 30 mins easy, but easy tonight was a much slower pace that Tuesday and my HR was all over the shop. 4 x 12 second hill sprints at the end and pulled my groin on the last one. Really hoping it'll be right by morning

No races whatsoever for the moment. Just building my strength back up. I might do a parkrun to see where I'm at in a few weeks but I think I'd be pretty devastated with my times if I did one now. They were pretty abysmal before I got injured :pac:

Working off heart rate at the minute, rather than pace, it'll take getting used to but I've got one of the best coaches in the country (well, least I think he is ) so I'm just going to do exactly what he tells me to do and trust him to get me back to full fitness and race ready.

I'm considering moving my log over to the AR forum as it's going to be more running focused from here on in.

God no, I love crossfit. Just none this week and then I'll just have to do less of it for the moment! Twice a week, three times max for now.
