Training Log: Entry 3534

**OPERATION PLANET MONGO**

AM WORKOUT (0355 wake up via alarm)

*Tactical Barbell Operator* Cycle 1, Week 4, Workout 5

“GO RUCK YOURSELF”

Treadmill walk w/45lb vest

* Speed: 3.5mph

* Time: 90 minutes

* Distance: 5.25 miles

* Incline: 4.5 for first 2.5 miles, 5.5 for remainder

Notes:

* We’ve experiencing a heat wave right now, and some decent humidity, so this was pretty miserable as far as general suckage goes, but wasn’t taxing to my cardiovascular system or muscles, which is good.  I wake up an extra 5 minutes earlier to get in one more quarter mile and be able to get in exactly 90 minutes of rucking.  It seems like a worthwhile trade.

* I think I’m going to continue my strategy of NOT doing my daily chins on this day to spare myself for tomorrow’s Cindy workout.  I also had to skip the sandbag yesterday due to a very tight timeline, but we got to Tang Soo Do on time and got in 2 full classes.  Neither individual class was as tough as the class on Tuesday, but combined they were exhausting.  I’ve got another single class tonight, and then we’ll be done for the week.

* Weighed in at 79.8kg, which was post walk/shower, meaning there is a water loss element there, but I’m also just seeing a general downward trend, that is thankfully moving gradually.  This is a 1.1kg drop from last week’s Thursday weigh in.  I’m appreciating the twice a week data points.

* On the supplements front, I started using a K2 supplement yesterday.  It was 200mcg, which is 2x the recommended dosage, so I may go with an every other day protocol.  Crazy inexpensive.
