Workout Journal Notes
This was one of the coldest sessions yet (since I wisely skipped the SIX-degree morning a few weeks ago!), it was in the 20’s.
Once we got going and warmed up, it really wasn’t too bad, except for my hands. Even though I was wearing two pairs of gloves, it felt like I had 5 icicles on each hand in place of fingers.
I felt really good on the first phase of uphill sprints and lead the pack for nearly the entire 5 minutes.
That’s the first time I’ve lead in several weeks, so my experiment of taking yesterday off must have worked.
Just to be sure it wasn’t a placebo effect, or even if it was, I’ll be trying it again next week to compare.
After hill sprints, we did one of the toughest things we ever have: Deep, slow lunges for 100 yards straight!
It sounded easy enough, but less than half way in, my legs were absolutely torched.
Luckily, my height came in handy, since my strides were so long, and it only took me 71 lunges, compared to most people’s 80-100.
That certainly did not make it feel any easier though! I could barely walk to “base camp” to get water afterward.
We took about a 3-5 minute break to allow some sense of feeling to come back to our legs, then immediately hit a sprint drill for another 5 minutes.
Needless to say, I’m sure I’ll have some Super Bowl-sized soreness in my legs tomorrow!
