Training Log: Entry 3659

AM WORKOUT (0350 wake up via alarm, very good night of sleep)

TACTICAL BARBELL GREY MAN Cycle 2, Week 1, Workout 4

“GO RUCK YOURSELF”

Treadmill walk w/20.4lb tac carrier

Speed: 3.5mph
Incline: 4.5
Distance: 5.25miles
Time: 90 minutes

Notes:

• This was the easiest ruck in quite a while. No real specific period of time where I was watching the clock. Found a docu-series to watch without commercial interruption and it went a long way toward distracting me.

• Knee doesn’t feel as awesome as it did on Monday, but my bad days are feeling better than my good days felt like before PT, so that’s a plus.

• Sparring last night was awesome. Made it to the finals without having to spar the Valkyrie, and beat our senior black belt in the second round. Last 2-3 in the final round against another black belt in a very close match. My mobility is improving with the stretching and reduced knee pain, but I’m noticing my connective tissue feels “loose”, as though it’s slipping in and out at times. We’re doing a double class tonight, so should be a good workout.

• Weighed 84.3kg this morning. Been a high sodium week with that kalua pig.

• Carried a 223.5lb keg, and got in a 1min 40sec hold immediately afterward. More challenging to hit the grip after the keg carry. Soon I need to dig out my rolling thunder and get to work on that.
