3 mile ruck march, 1 mile of which I helped carry a cooler full of beer and ice. I’ll carry that weight any day.

We need more gentlemen like you.

Base building phase, week 4, day 1 60 minutes LSS run 1:02:03, 4.59 miles (13:31 min/mile), avg HR 147 bpm So I'm still sick, but I just wanted to train. It's definitively my worst run so far. It was hot and humid and my heart rate was easily going into the 150's. I had to walk a couple times durin...

So I'm still coughing mucus (same with blowing my nose). I'm just hoping it will stop soon, as I was planning on beginning week 4 of BB this Saturday. I still went for a short run today (31:13, 2.38 miles (13:07 min/mile), avg HR 144 bpm) to see how I feel and surprisingly, it isn't so bad. I went o...

I caught a nasty bug over the weekend. I woke up Sunday morning with a sore throat, a terrible headache and achy joints and muscles. I've been coughing like hell since then. I'll take the week easy and repeat week 4 starting next Saturday. That sucks though, everything was going just fine.

Base building phase, week 4, day 1 SE cluster (KB swings (16 kg), push-ups, squats (10 lbs), pull-ups, back extensions, sit-ups) 1 sets, 25 reps (4/1 reps for pull-ups), 60s rest between exercises The push-ups and back extensions were rough. Actually, I regressed in my push-ups, as I had to take a ...

Base building phase, week 3, day 5 SE cluster (KB swings (16 kg), push-ups, squats (10 lbs), pull-ups, back extensions, sit-ups) 2 sets, 20 reps (2/2 reps for pull-ups), 60s rest between exercises, 120s rest between circuits I was feeling nauseous halfway through my second circuit. I really have to...

Base building phase, week 3, day 4 50 minutes LSS run 50:44, 4.32 miles (11:44 min/mile), avg HR 143 bpm Best run so far. I changed my route, but I don't think it was necessarily "easier". My heart rate was stable and had a good pace. SE day tomorrow. So far so good for this week, as I'll...

Base building phase, week 3, day 3 60 minutes LSS run 59:04, 4.75 miles (12:26 min/mile), avg HR 144 bpm Weird run. My heart rate was all over the place for the first 30 minutes. I ran my second mile in 13:38 :? I felt bloated, was cramping a little and my right foot was kind of numb. I'm not too s...

I'm new to this kind of training, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm currently in my first BB cycle and my runs are much slower than when I tested my 1.5 mile run (8.20 min/mile vs. 12:00 min/mile). So I would also say to run for time and not distance, as hormonal and physiological adaptations are...

Base building phase, week 3, day 2 50 minutes LSS elliptical 51:03, avg HR 143 bpm I was away with the wife this weekend and had to train on the elliptical late tonight. I'm not a runner, but I definitively prefer running outside than inside. 50 minutes on the elliptical felt like forever, even tho...
