Training Log Archive: Bruiser

Beautiful hike to the brickworks market this morning. A few bushwhacking sections on account of me not knowing where the hell I was going.

C • City Bushwhacking 1

Had planned on doing a longer ride, but since I need the most work on foot I changed it into a brick workout instead. Part one: road ride.

Part 2 of the brick: Running. I did this same loop a few weeks ago in the same amount of time, and that was without a 2hr cycle just before it... so I guess I must be improving.

20m: Rope Ladder drills mixed with sprints and box jumps
10m: Skipping

Woke up early for a morning trail run with Funderstorm. Nothing quite like cresting a hill to a rising sun. Almost made the hills not suck. Almost. Tried out my new Saucony Peregrine trail shoes. Fantastic.

5 reps, 5 sets, 2 exercises with no rest between, 5 counts down, blast up...

bent over row / seated row
bicep curl / lat pulldown

Drove down to meet Funderstorm for a beautiful ride at the Hydrocut. It's been about three years since I've been in those trails, and hot damn, I love it.

Warm up: Running, press, push press, front squat, back squat, lunges
Weights: Back squats (85 lbs), 3 sets, 5 reps, 5 counts down, "blast" up. I am not so good at blasting, but I did what I could.
WOD: 50-30-10 of Kbell overhead swings and situps. Killed it. 7:49.

When you live with your old trainer, you have to earn your dinner with a 15 minute circuit of skipping and lunging bicep curl shoulder press bastards.
