Day 43

After a nap I felt a lot more energetic so I figured I'd hit the gym for a run, hoping to not make the day a total waste.

Treadmill - 3 miles, 9.0 mph: 20 minutes

Day 40

CFE Workout

1 Minute Ladder (mis-read the CFE post so I didn't to enough reps)

1 min on, 50 sec off (2.0 incline, 10.0 mph)
1 min on, 40 sec off (2.0 incline, 10.0 mph)
1 min on, 30 sec off (2.0 incline, 10.0 mph)
1 min on, 20 sec off (2.0 incline, 10.0 mph)
1 min on, 10 sec off (2.0 incline, 9.0 mph)
1 min on, 20 sec off (2.0 incline, 9.0 mph)
1 min on, 30 sec off (2.0 incline, 10.0 mph)
1 min on, 40 sec off (2.0 incline, 10.0 mph)
1 min on, 50 sec off (2.0 incline, 10.0 mph)

Should have started with 1 min on, 1 min off and finished with the same. Oh well...pretty good workout, need to get run more.

Warmup: Armstrong Pull-up Program (Monday) 5x Max Reps

17, 12, 10, 10, 10(8, 2 kipping)

CFE Workout: 091214

90 seconds on, 90 seconds off x 6

Cover as much distance as possible in each of the 6 intervals

All 6 intervals done on treadmill at 10.0 mph (6 min/mile) and 2.0 incline.  1/4 mile (400m) per interval = 2400m total

Felt great in the gym, but this was a HARD workout.   Took probably a 3 hour nap this morning, I've been trying to get a lot more sleep.  I can tell a big difference in how I feel, not only in the gym but just generally over the course of the day.

Day 11

CFE Workout

Original Workout: 3 rounds for time: 1 min on, 1 min off, 1 min on, 1 min off, 1 min on, 1 min off. Changed to 2 rounds of 4 intervals. 1 round running, 1 round rowing.

Round 1 (running, treadmill - speed, incline): 1 - 9.0, 2.0; 2 - 9.0, 3.0; 3 - 9.0, 4.0; 4 - 10.0, 4.0. Felt good through the whole workout, could have gone faster on the first few. I was trying to get a feel for how I wanted to do the workout.

Round 2 (rowing): Total distance, 1107 m. Still feel like I'm not going fast enough for how hard I'm working. Need to work on rowing form

Diet: good overall

Sleep: not enough
