Good luck with the race!

i'm still crossfitting, loving it but I get beaten down every day it seems

Thanks! I've been doing Crossfit 4-5 days a week as my normal regimen, and I'm planning on leaning on some of their Endurance programming as I get closer to the race. I know exactly what you mean about getting beaten down. I've been in it for almost a year and a half and still feel out of shape on some days!

Flu and cold season caught up to me. I haven't worked out in a week now. Going to wait until I am 100% to get back at it.

I'm already passed doing 50 in a row.
This year I started doing more weighted pushups and pullups.

I'm now trying to add more weight each week.

I also don't know if 4 weeks is enough time to see any change.That's a short amount of time when it comes to fitness.

Added 5 pounds to my pack.
For some reasons it's harder to do pull ups now.

I almost deadlifted 290lbs today

My bench press still sucks.

A 17 day old princess caught up to me and everything leading up to her birth, I haven't been in a month. Next month Planet Fitness opens here and will be open 24/7 so I plan to go after work three nights a week.

More physical therapy on the repaired knee today. 2 months out of surgery now. Methodist Sports Med has been working me hard every week (+ my own workouts). It's like having a private trainer... paid for by insurance. I was sore for days after last week. Probably going to be sore for days this week too. It feels great!

Back squat PR at 265lbs last night, power clean PR at 195lbs on Tuesday night. Making progress slowly but surely.

I did say stability muscles.....Push ups and sit ups would be for "core" muscles when talking in running lingo. I'm talking hip flexors, tibialis, etc... Strengthen the muscles around your hips, knees, and ankles, and you won't have issues after switching to snow or trails.

Not necessarily, I do 100 push ups an 70 sit-ups a day (minus my off days). I think the issue was more the lack of traction and my foot slipping on the snow/ice during my run, thus causing me to changing running form to account for that. If you change running form (i dont care who you are), you utilize different muscles which normally wouldn't have been activated (which can happen from just changing pair of shoes) and put strain on tendons that shouldnt be strained that way. Its a completely different feeling then how I felt after trail running.

So most likely it was me changing from a neutral running to doing more heal strikes (to prevent from falling) thus causing an injuring to my tendon.

I hit a 295lbs on my deadlift last night. My bench Press on Sunday was a little better, but not great. Too embarrassed my max on that yet.

I weighed myself this morning, 160lbs. That Whole30 diet actually DOES work.... I feel great, haven't had any bread or cheese and sugar for almost a month now. 1 more week, and I'm having a large cheeseburger

I have ate SO many sweet potatoes lately, but damn are they good.

Doctor said I had a stress fracture ..... Guess that means no more running for a while and that my marathon plans for April are shot. Bummed beyond words right now, such a deflating feeling. Doc said I don't need a boot so at least that's good, just have to take it easy.

Guess its time to pull out the bike and trainer for some cross training while I heal up.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I did a deadlift set as part of the workout today. I have no idea how much I can deadlift but I did 225 on the last one. I could have done more. Maybe next time I'll try for a max. It sure felt good...

3000 ... 3001 ... 3002 ...

I'm at 20 pounds in the bag now.Much harder to do 20 pull ups in a row.

 

[jagee]

Bump.

 

[FishnHunt]

Got my first bar muscle-up last night, pretty stoked about that. Next up, ring muscle-ups. Also looking forward to a nice 5 mile trail run Saturday morning in Bluffton.

Any of you runners use a GPS watch to track mile splits and pace? Any recommendations or things to look for/avoid? Thinking of picking one up to help with my half-marathon training this year.

 

[Sylvain]

Bump.

Yesterday was the last day of being on the Whole30 diet. I'm at 155lbs now. When I started, I was 165lbs. I wasn't even trying to lose anymore weight, just wanted to eat clean, with no sugar.

I'm still working on deadlifting 300 lbs. I WILL reach that number.

My pants are falling off and I need to drill another hole in my belt...on the skinny end this time!

2x body weight deadlift is nothing to sneeze at, just make sure you have good form. I let my form break down on Monday on heavyish deadlifts for me...my lower back muscles are not happy with me right now.
