Just completed my first day of base building.
This morning I ran for 30 minutes for a little over 2.5 miles and an average HR of 138.
About 20 minutes ago I did my SE work utilizing the Alpha circuit concept. My cluster is Chin-ups(1/2 the given reps, so 5 for week 1), Push-ups, Bulgarian Split Squats(given reps per leg, so 10/leg for week 1), DB swings @40#, Sit-ups with 40# db. The first 3 exercises I did with 25# in a backpack.
Overall I feel really good today and am looking forward to my long run tomorrow.

Week 1 done.
AM workout was a 30 minute run for a distance of 2.58 miles and a average HR of 136.
PM workout was the same SE circuit as Monday.
Got pretty excited with my run this morning because at the beginning of the week I was running at about a 13 minute pace to remain within HR restrictions however towards the end of today's run I was running a sub 11:00 pace and my heart rate was only 140.

Week 2
Day 1
AM: 40 minute run for a distance of 3.67 miles and a average HR of 143.
PM: SE 3 rounds of 10 chin-ups with weighted backpack, 20 push-ups with weighted backpack, 20/leg Bulgarian split squats with weighted backpack, 20 swings with a 40# db, and 20 sit-ups with a 40# db.
Had to break the chin-ups on the last round and the Bulgarian split squats just suck in general but other than that everything's going well so far.
Day 2
70 min run for 6.57 miles and a average HR of 146. I probably should have mentioned this earlier but for running I'm following the Maffetone Method which for me equals a max aerobic HR of 158.
Day 3
AM: 40 min run for 3.76 miles at an average HR of 143. Felt good and even though the pace was faster it felt easier than last weeks runs.
PM: Same SE circuit as Monday. I don't know what my deal was with this but it felt way harder than Monday's session. Having said that the only thing I had to break on was the Chin-ups and the session only lasted 45 seconds more than Monday's.
Day 4
50 minute run for a distance of 4.53 miles and an average HR of 143. Started off super slow and beat up today but after 1.5 miles I was feeling good.
Day 5
I had an emergency come up today so I only had time for the run today. I ran 45 minutes for 4.76 miles at an average HR of 149.
Day 6
Normally I take Saturday and Sunday off but the lack of SE yesterday and wanting to workout today led to me doing this workout courtesy of Mark Divine of Sealfit
50 4-count Jumping Jacks, 25 Push-ups, 25 Divebombers, 50 Squats, 50 Monkey Squats, 25 Push-ups, 5 minute Plank, 50 4-Count Flutterkicks, 50 4-Count Mountain Climbers, 25 Push-ups, 25 Star Jumps, 50 Squats, 50 Leg Levers, and finally 50 Burpees. This sucked in a major way. I finished in 25:31 and my itch to workout today has been cured.
Week 2 Run Total
23.29 miles run at an average HR of 144.8.
