AM WORKOUT (0400 wake up via alarm)

TACTICAL BARBELL OPERATOR Week 1, Workout 3

“GO RUCK YOURSELF”

Treadmill walk w/20.4lb tac carrier

• Speed: 3.5mph

• Incline: 4.0

• Distance: 5 miles

• Time: 1hr, 25min, 45sec

Notes:

• Been a long time since I did a ruck, and with how banged up my hip was yesterday, I took this easy and settled in. Still dealing with some plantar fasciitis in the left foot: I am in desperate need of new running/walking shoes, especially since we’re signed up for our 10 mile race in Apr again.

• Used this as an opportunity to continue to improve my walking mechanics with the right leg. This has gone a LONG way toward managing my knee pain. It was weird: I wasn’t limping because I was hurt, but instead I hurt because I was limping.

• Tang Soo Do was tough last night, primarily because my hip was in agony for the majority of it. Hard to get my kicks where I wanted them to be. It was our first 90 minute class, and it was pretty active. Things should go a bit better tonight.

• Weighed 86.0kg this morning. That’s a 3.1kg drop from Monday, but it’s also a weigh in after the walk, so there’s a hydration element at play. I’m coffee fasting until dinner again.

• Got in a 60 second timed hold last night. Head wasn’t in the right spot: was rushing.
