“OXYGEN DEBT 101” (Basic)

2 rounds of

200m sprint-30 second rest-200m sprint-30 second rest-200m sprint

3 min rest

6 minutes on rower

Notes:

* Heavy week of training, so basic week of conditioning.  Worked out well, because my legs felt like lead today.  Did my best to really focus on pushing off midfoot vs heal and getting the legs up high on the rebound strike, and I had at least 1 solid sprint per round and felt my lungs burning, but output wasn’t what I was used to.  

* Still just playing around on the rower when I get some downtime.  Not pushing hard enough to impact recovery, but trying to figure out what I’m doing with it.  And it’s honestly just enjoyable.  Having good equipment matters, because I never cared to use that cheap rower I bought.

* Got in a good walk after dinner last night, and the sandbags just keep getting more and more natural as I go.  The Milo of Croton meets Easy Strength approach here has really panned out well for me.  I think I want to keep this up after this training cycle.  1 carry a day doesn’t take much time away from me.

* I’ve got Tang Soo Do tonight.  It’s one-steps week, which tends to be pretty low activity.  I also am most likely working a half day today, so I may be able to get in another leisure walk.

* With my travel coming up, I started re-thinking my training strategy leading up to my next cruise, and since I’ll have 7 weeks between my return from my trip and the start of my cruise, I think I’m just going to restart my ROM progression cycle and get in one full one leading up to the cruise vs trying to rush this current cycle to completion and do a partial one leading up.  I’m in no rush at this point: I’ve got nothing but time.
