Friday-February 27, 2009
Today concluded the second week of my new six-week cycle. I did planche training and worked on my back. The planche training went very well today. I now realize that cutting back one additional day of training is allowing my arms to recover better. I’ve been forcing myself to hold my last tuck planche for 20 seconds after I’ve done the previous 5 holds at 15 seconds just for an additional challenge. Next week I will be going to 20 seconds. It’s taking a long time to work up to 60 seconds, but June 30 is about 4 months away.
I had a very good run considering I was on my legs most of the day after my workout yesterday. I was able to do my 3 mile run in 23:03, so I’m closing in on that 7 minute mile. Perhaps I will have that by the end of the spring. We’ll see.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and even better workouts (if you do so during the weekends).
