Time: High Noon. Temperature: 90 degrees Fahrenheit 32 degrees French. Distance: no clue. It's a trail out back of my house usually takes 24 minutes to run two loops. Work prior to running: 3x5 front squats ending at 175 and 16 reps at 175 back squat. Animals encountered: None. But I trespassed on the land of a Texan so the run wasn't completely free of danger. Highlights: Ipod "bouncing" and thus shuffling 10 times in the first 200 yards . . . burrs getting all over my shorts inside and out . . . concrete barrier climb (a bulldozed pile of broken concrete)
Didn't have time to drive to the really nasty mountain trails around me so I just ran 3.8 miles to make up for it. And I didn't come across any vicious animals but I did dodge cars and I saw a frog and KICKED it really hard because I was thinking of Jacob programming this run the entire time- 28:14 w/30lb ruck sack
Time: 7:30p.m. Tempreture: 35 degrees C and 75% humidity; i'm very sure my vest gained a few kgs from all the sweat it absorbed.
Distance: 5k through the dark lonely desert of Bahrain; i have encountered snakes scorpions and wild dogs (thanks to them i probably cut a few minutes of my time)
For a time probably between 32-34mins; will try and send you some pictures soon.
Didn't run...my bad. Believe me, Davie already called me out for whinning...whatever.
Walked into the gym "Robin, work out with us!" etc etc. So: I did the Saturday am wod at the gym VESTED. It was: Farmers carry 100 yards 21 wallballs 15 pullups 9 db pushups 3 rounds and the #'s switched each rnd. Anyway: 15 minutes. Scared animals: all my new clients watching a 5'3" girl wearing a vest and beating them! haha
Set out and ran...then google earthed it afterward and realised i was 500m short. Still......enjoyable and good fun seeing the weekend warrior runners faces.
I'm a strength & conditioning coach and a competing weightlifter (competitive would be too strong a word.) This blog is part musings on strength & conditioning, part prose & poetry, part training log, and inconsistently updated.
