I need some elbow sleeves and a grip shirt. And gloves.

 

First real jog/walk in probably a year. Quads are burning especially after the workouts from the week. 10/10 still boring

 

A big ole boy came and did some with us. He made 400lbs look easy. Dude basically ran with it.

 

We are about on par on pace

My run today


Something got fucked up on mi 7 not sure wth that was so ignore that.

40lb sandbag. I’m trash lol. First time trying them ever.

 

Don't bend knees so much and load them hamstrings more.

 

LOL

If I was doing it shit would probably land on my head on the way down.

 

I thought knees bending would help. Need much much more practice even though these aren’t even in the comp. y’all make this stuff look much easier than it actually is lol.

 

Think of it like a heavy KB swing. Load your hamstrings like you're in the start of a deadlift. Knee bend is minimal to create max tension and power in you hams and glutes

 

Yea need to do more kettlebells. Fun shit though.

 

"Trashmore" ? Guessing the marketing people didn't get ahold of that name.

 

Fun fact even though your comment was just bullshitting... it’s called Mount Trashmore because it’s an old landfill. They let grass grow over it all and bam.

 

This is how you win in life here!

 

Feeling surprisingly well for having run 30 miles this weekend. Curious how I will feel on my lower body lifts today.

Saturdays 12 miler I averaged 10:49/mi and yesterdays 18 I averaged 11:56/mi. Not super thrilled but hoping I was slower this weekend because it was my first longer runs in 2 weeks.
Goal is 12/mi for race days (which has to include walking, aid station stops, bathroom stops etc). I'd like more wiggle room.

We will see what next weekends long runs have in store pace wise.

 

Yep. Distal. 3-6 months. Still kind of letting that sink in at the moment. Wow.

 

@PackCon going to be doing a lot of running during that time and really focusing on "cutting," well, because that's all that I can fucking do...

 

My sister snapped her hamstring off her pelvis late last year. She got in for surgery within 2 weeks. Surgeon said the longer a muscle is detached the worse recovery gets just because the muscle has to be re stretched.

I hope things go well and its closer to the 3 month time. Surgery soon?

 

Stitches came out yesterday on the foot. Decided to hit legs for the first time in 3 weeks today to see how it felt.

Squat 4x8
Front squat 3x5
Box squat 3x15
Sldl 3x15
Ghd 3x5.

Heel felt pretty good even with 315lbs loaded up. However, my conditioning sucks and I won’t be able to walk tomorrow. I’d call it a success.

 

Glad to hear you’re healing up quickly!

 

That’s not bad at all!
