Monday May 4 – Circuit Training

Sunday May 3 – Run/Walk 4.6 miles (in 1:04) – this was a HARD run. I ran in the afternoon which I don’t normally do. I planned to run 3 miles but I got on a trail and decided during the first mile to run to the end which I knew would take me over 4 miles. I died and quit running at 3. Walked the last mile and a half. Stick to the plan!!!

Notes:

I’m a details guy so I like to keep track of this stuff. I don’t necessarily recommend the level of detail I keep because sometimes it becomes a hindrance to me. I do think, though, having a detailed plan for the future is important.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 220 which synchs nicely with the Garmin “Connect” app on my iPhone which talks back and forth with the MyFitnessPal app. These two “talk” to each other well so I can load a workout into one or the other and the info transfers.

The pool I swim at is an indoor 50 meter pool (love the 50 meters compared to 25!). I just swim freestyle the entire time, VERY rarely (like almost never) I’ll swim a lap of breast or back stroke. I think once in the last few years I kicked with a board and I never could master butterfly.

Circuit Training – The gym next to my office has a very awesome trainer named who will absolutely destroy us in strength & endurance drills. Never the same workout twice. The focus is on functional fitness (not cross fit but similar concept). Usually 30 – 40 minutes of work-out time after warm-up. He sets up maybe 8-10 stations with 30, 45 or 60 seconds of work at each station with 20-30 second transition between stations. Do this 2 or 3 times around and I am absolutely spent!!
