M 24 Jul 17 Max Strength 80% Bench: 3 x 5 @ 175 lbs Squat: 3 x 5 @ 265 lbs Pull-ups: 4,4,3 @ BW Deadlift: 1 x 5 @ 255 lbs It felt good to lift but I can foresee traffic jams at various pieces of equipment. I am really going to have to consider a garage gym. Tu 25 Jul 17 E: 30 min LSS run outdoors o...

Sa 22 Jul 17 E: 30 min LSS run on sidewalk and trail. Took a different trail today and got further on it than last week. However, it wasn't raining and covered with puddles this time and I knew where the trail went this time, so those factors allowed for a more confident stride. I enjoyed the run. ...

F 21 Jul 17 E : 30 min LSS run outdoors. Drove to the start of the trail and ran the entire time on the gravel trail. Very serene. I liked this and I'll keep doing it, I think. Breathed through nose the entire time and my knee didn't gripe about the run, although I could feel my quads - in a good w...

Th 20 Jul 17 Max Strength day Despite initially forgetting my shoes and having to restart my bus commute and despite a fire alarm in the middle of my workout, the strength session went pretty well. Bench: 3 x 5 @ 165lbs (~75% of training max) Squat: tested 1RM 365 I am not sure if I will keep heavy...

Wed 18 Jul 17 Recovery day. I did my 5 minute foam rolling routine that I do prior to runs and workouts. I hadn't been doing anything for recovery days previously but I figure this routine will keep me mentally engaged in the process and, just maybe, force me into incorporating more mobility drills...

Tue 18 Jul 17 30 min LSS run outside on gravel trail. There are a couple of really nice trails 5-10 minutes away from my house. I think I might drive to the start so I can spend the whole 30 minutes on the trail. Felt good. Breathed through nose. Left knee squawked at me for a couple hundred meters...

Mon 17 Jul 17 Tested my Bench Press and Deadlift. I was a little conservative because I didn't have a spotter, but I don't think I was over-cautious. Bench Press 1RM: 245 lbs. Bench Press Training Max: .9*1RM = 220 lbs. Deadlift 1RM: 395 lbs. Bench Press Training Max: .9*1RM = 355 lbs. It felt glor...

Last week turned out to be a false start. I was over-eager to get going but I couldn't get my commute, workout and work schedules to align right. The week fell apart after Wednesday. I've since confirmed my working hours and other expectations with my new boss, I have a better grip on the facilities...

I intended to get a run in on Wednesday but the new schedule is still a bit loose. Plus, the girls haven't been sleeping through the night, which makes for some pretty crappy sleep anyway. This morning, I was up early (thanks, girls) and decided to go for the LSS run. It went well, and even though i...

Tue 11 Jul 17 First LSS session in a while. Ran slowly for 30 min on treadmill - I would have preferred to have run outside first thing in the morning but I wanted to be super-cautious about making sure I got to work on time. Good run - easy pace, breathed through my nose the entire time (instead o...
