No training today yet. Work has been super busy but might get a bike trainer session in. Did hop on the scales mid afternoon to see 89kgs which is a nice surprise. First time under 90 in a while. 85 is still the long term goal so not too far away now.

Decided to go for a run. Stupidly also ate a sausage followed by come lime and coconut cake with coconut yoghurt on it. Needless to say the run was cut short at about the 3k mark.

she should start a journal on here, i'm tryna see how much work that is. what's her training schedule look like?

The two worlds must not collide haha

Just asked her though and it was 11-16 hours per week of training which includes an hour of a body balance class, 1 x strength training session and a game of netball.

All other training is HR based training and there's usually 3 run/ride/swim each per week with an additional run off the bike on Sat. Sun was the long run day and Monday was a complete rest day. It's a program she paid for from Training Peaks. Lots of zone 2 & 3 training with multiple efforts thrown in with a few rides in Z2 with Z4 efforts. She said the training wasn't that hard. It was just getting the consistency of doing it and sticking to the plan. She just said it was fun. Probably completed 90-95% of all sessions that were programmed.

She plans to get some more strength sessions in and try to add some muscle over the next couple of months which will no doubt help her in each discipline.

Hapkido class last night. 90 minutes of pure sweat which was cool but copped a knee right on my left VMO which is currently killing me. Massive corky. I was planning to take the weekend easy anyway so it probably won't hurt me too much. My wife is doing a 70.3 on Sunday so we're getting geared up to go away for that. Can't wait. Now that I'm more interested in triathlon it'll be a lot more interesting than the last one where I was there purely to see her run past every 1-2 hours.

bad ass.

She is. She finished in 5:39 which is 8 mins faster than last year and on a harder course too.

1.9k swim- 37 mins
90k ride- 2:57
21k run- 1:57
Transitions- 7 mins

Pretty stoked for her. Lots of training went into this and she's getting better so it's a great boost to know she's on the right track.

watched D-Wade almost just hit the game winning three in a MIA heat jersey .. surreal.

Man that was so close!!! Disappointed for him it didn't go but happy to see Philly get the win.

Need to sleep but just mentioning: on my drive home tonight, it was a pretty eerie moment driving "passed" the school shooting from the highway - while listening to NPR talk about what happened. A normally quiet/dark/desolate view of the school as you pass by around 6+ PM, now filled with hundreds of cops, news crews, and just activity everywhere with massive lines of traffic throughout Parkland. Comparatively, the highway was a ghost town.

sad stuff.

RIP.

the culture of violence continues, with empty prayers & reflection from politicians in the pocket of violent domestic & foreign policy :/

It's just horrible. Makes me grateful for where I live but it still horrifies me how politics always gets in the way of a solution.

Lunchtime run - 23:45

4.11km @ 5:46m/km

No HR strap today. Went a little harder than I wanted to initially and then just let myself run the remainder of it. Pushed a little too hard in certain areas and felt it on the back end. Slightly disappointing but what are you going to do.

Had a complete ego driven fail yesterday. Body felt a bit banged up my surf on the weekend which is usually the way when I haven't done it for a while. Lower back, hips, adductors, etc. All felt like crap. Add to that a few poor nights sleep and it wasn't a great recipe. I had planned to test my deadlift max yesterday and even though I felt like crap I went ahead with the plan anyway. Worked up to a 130 single which moved pretty damn quickly. Decided to jump to 150 switching to mixed grip for the first time in forever too. Got it about 3" off the ground twice and bailed. Left hip immediately let me know it was angry and I was kicking myself. Feels better today but still overall feel like crap. Too much coffee and not enough sleep probably not helping. Playing netball again tonight and will get back into it tomorrow.

On a brighter note, I've had 2 beers since Feb 22 and they were both in Australia day which was the 26th. No other alcohol either. While I'm not going completely off it I will save it more for special occasions and the like. No more drinking at home just for the sake of it.

50 min @ HR of 135 - 6.98km @ 7.10m/km

Interesting run. Not that the time was great but I felt great running. Really enjoyed it and felt like I could have kept running forever. Also worth noting is that my pace at that HR is improving. Was 7.33 the week before and 7.19 a few days before that run. All in similar conditions. Cannot wait to get into the 6's and bring it down further. Looks like this whole "cardio" thing is working out.

good stuff!!

Spent 40-50 mins with the lacross ball followed by some long lunge work for the hip flexors.

Morning surf. First time in the water in at least 2 years. Was sloppy, onshore 2-3ft but clean enough to get a ton of waves and have a great time. Also managed to paddle a little under 3k which is cool to know. It's still one of those activities that really has no peer in terms of feeling when you get it right. Scary as fuck into pure bliss.

that was sick to see that surfing data.

the closest thing i've ever done to surfing, is skim boarding.. hah. too wimpy for the ocean.

pretty cool that you could catch a bunch of waves after ~2 years off.

Yeah it's pretty cool data to have. Kind of looks like I just ran around in the shallows for 45 mins tho haha.

Man I'm too wimpy for skim boarding. Tried it a few times when I was younger and face planted way too many times. It's one of the benefits of getting fitter though is to be able to get around in the surf without too much hassle. I didn't have to battle too much but it's still nice to not be struggling for breath after a hard paddle out.

I was using an 8"1 board so pretty easy to get up on. I have other boards but half the fun of surfing is actually catching waves.

hah. 60-49 cavs right now.. would be hilarious if they are incredible now.. LMFAO.

Lebron goes from trainwreck to mastermind GM (again).

Cavs get it done by 22. Didn't see the game though. Was it a completely new CLE or did they just get lucky?

also.. can't believe MIA got WADE back.

that's awesome and weird.

Holy sheet!

I did not see that coming.

CLE out- Wade, Thomas, Crowder, Frye, Rose, Shumpert

CLE in- 2nd Rd DP, Hood, Hill, Clarkson, Nance Jr,

I wonder how many of these guys had any idea or it's just a case of "the tribe has spoken"

the Tribe aka Lebron ... eek. definitely the latter.

insane.

Interesting times to be on an NBA roster.

Just saw this  ;D

Strength Session 95%

Was meant to have another session at the same weights and sets as Monday. Was super warm and I was filling in for my brother in laws netball team an hour or so later so decided to do some singles.

Squat-
bar x 10, 60 x 3, 80 x 1, 100 x 1, 110 x 1, 120 x 1, 130 x 1

Bench-
bar x 10, 40 x 5, 60 x 1, 80 x 1, 85 x 1, 90 x 1, 95 x 1 (equal PR)

Squats weren't too bad tonight. 130 wasn't a grinder either so that's positive but 110 and 120 were much nicer and smoother. Haven't squatted that heavy in a considerable amount of time. Bench was interesting. On the video it looks so easy which it wasn't. I was meant to test my maxes next week which I still will do. Will then take a week off and start again.

Potential stupid comment alert: What I'm doing now really seems to be working really well but I feel like I need to change it up. Elbows are taking a beating from benching 3x per week. Upper body is also lagging in size due to the lack of overall volume I'm doing. Also, it's pretty stale doing the same thing each and every time I step into the gym. There are things I need to be working on that probably deserve my attention more than what I'm currently doing.

Cardio

Played 40 mins of netball. Fitness is so much better than what it was and I cruised through this game no problems. Also, part of me loves playing netball because they rarely see people jump so even the most mediocre jumps like mine are super impressive to them. Even had one of the other team comment about how "huge" I was which is certainly not the case haha.
