Every athlete needs to assess how they are feeling today. Assess how your body has responded to Monday-Wednesdays sessions and either do the following:
1 – Take a full rest day. If this is the option you choose, then you are not allowed to feel guilty for not going into the gym. Resting is crucial to advancement in your training so if you choose to rest then have no regrets!
2 – Mobilize.
Use your regular training time to mobilize. Find your problem areas and spend some time focusing on those areas.
3 – Active Recovery. This could be swimming (you can find our free swim workouts on our Competition blog every Thursday), doing a trail run, a low intensity row session or a run. I have provided a running option for those of you who’d like to run.
For times:
Run 2 Miles @ 5k PR pace
Rest 3 minutes
Run 2 Miles @ 5k PR Pace
Rest 2 minutes
Run 800 Meters @ 100% effort

Well today was getting back into the routine again from being sick the last 3-4 days with a cough and cold. Sad to say but the lifting seemed very cardio-ish!
Front squats 4×4–125#
Snatch section from this week: Balance +OHS–65/85/95. Drops at 65#. Pull + snatch @ 73/78/83. Snatch @88–failed first 2, then realize was looking down at the start. Completed when looking up!
That was all I could manage for today, it good to get moving again
Glad you are feeling better!
I went for a 4mile run today. I didn’t go at a fast pace because I’m recovering from being sick for a few days. My pace was in between 9:15-10:11 per mile. My shoulder still isn’t feeling great so I will need to take it easy on my left shoulder too. It felt great to move again!!:)
Awesome job on going for a run today!! Hope you are feeling better!
