Dennis came back for another round. He's a very slick guy. Loves hip-hop. His standing broad-jumps are an impressive sight.
Oh, and we hit a tough strength workout too.

Starting peak training right- heavy strength focused kettlebell/ bodyweight workout.
New member visited the gym. His name is Dennis Hopper, and he hits leg day hard. Not much upper-body strength, but his grip is amazing.

A sign of things to come?
Cutback week is over.
Tomorrow is the beginning of peak training weeks.
Bring it on.

Finishing week 7 on the training plan with 7 miles. Not a moment too soon. Aches and nagging pain from old injuries are expected at this point. Worn out mentally. Looking forward to a cutback week before we get to the real heavies.

Silly runner, long runs are for selfies with friends, in the dark, before the sun comes up. 🤔 Today with @readrunrepeat.bsky.social
(Don't worry, we did eventually do our long runs, too)

The House of the Rising Sun

Light weight/conditioning session and run. Oof, did this run feel BRUTAL. Not sure if it's extra humid, or feeling the fatigue. Starting to look forward to next week's cutback.

Except me- because otherwise someone would have slacked.

No run today. Just strength circuits. Tapped out after 2. Who else is getting it today?

10k tired legs long-ish run to wrap up week 6 on the training plan. Halfway through this training cycle. No, the lens on my camera isn't foggy. The air is just that thicc.

Absolutely smoked after this one- pair of 2 x 7 min circuits, sandwiched between runs. First circuit = strength focused, second for endurance. Pushed through and got it done!

Tried to mix things up a little and do Tabata. My brain was clearly broken during the planning stage, because the math just don't math. Pleasantly surprised by the challenge of this one, but I'm pretty sure that I did not Tabata.

If I waited until later, it would be ridiculously hot and humid. If I get it done early, it's only crazy humid and sorta hot. And the views are better

Back to work after first cutback week. Early, hot, humid. Summer training is never easy but it is always worth it.
