Did just primary Conditioning to save body for comp this weekend.
3:51/3:56/4:10/5:30/-/4:01

Skipping set 5 was best move to be able to get most out of round 6 otherwise 5 & 6 would’ve been incomplete rounds. Worst part was going from thrusters to rower. As bad as it was hope we do this one again

Somewhat, yes. It’s the same issue from the other week. It’s doing MUCH better now. Just inflammation/congestion around the knee joint and ankle partially entrapping a nerve or at least putting some unwanted pressure on it. I am working on it, and doing lots of stretching/mobility and seeing my Chiro. Going to book with Physio soon for some IMS which should clear it up I think.

Will do! Felt like based off the comments on how gnarly today’s was that if I skipped it I’d be cheating on the fam here haha. But I did tell myself if I hit the 6min cap at any round that I’d call it to keep myself in check on quality! So, happy that I made all 6 under 6

Did everything by feel focusing more on technique. Coming back slowly.

Engine is getting back little by little.

Great training day today!

Some good learning today on the conditioning Eric. I like that you play with different approaches and adjust to get the most out of the workout. I don’t necessarily believe that using that test or any test should determine your pace on the bike. I believe it’s inportant for an athlete to understand where to push and where to back off. There are so many factors that can play into your pace. Fatigue from the previous movements, was it quad dominant or posterior chain, is the next movement a skill you’re comfortable with or one that causes issues all of… Read more »
