PM WORKOUT (1400)

TACTICAL BARBELL SPECIFICITY BRAVO Week 1, Workout 5

Reset 20s: Rower

5 rounds of max effort 20 seconds w/2 min rest

Notes:

• Didn’t know if I’d get this training in, but found time today. I was actually pretty delighted with my effort on this: made it through all 5 rounds with a hard effort.

• Followed it up with a 3 mile walk with the dog while wearing a 20.4lb tac carrier in 25 degree weather wearing a t-shirt. Was good to get some cold exposure.

• I noticed I was still limping the other day, and that my knee hurt. And I realized I wasn’t limping because my knee hurt: my knee hurt because I was limping. By all accounts, I’ve turned a corner, but I’ve been walking with a limp so long that I forgot my normal walking pattern. So I’ve been forcefully correcting my gait, and I focused on that specifically during the walk. Knee felt great as a result.

• Knee also managed to endure sitting for 2.5 hours yesterday watching a stage production. The physical therapy is really paying off, along with focusing on where I can reduce pain in my life (flat shoes in training, knee sleeve, in Tang Soo Do, etc).
