That hurts my back just looking at it. Today I ran about 7.4 miles in about 1:24'. It felt like I lost all energy and speed after the first hour, but ended up only losing 2-3 minutes between turning around and finishing. It's going to be a PITA to add limping along at 4.5mph for nearly 2 hours to finish the race.

Good times on the ruck runs. I did about 3x 1 mile intervals for 9:30s on the treadmill a few weeks ago (no space on my COP to run) so they went a little faster than usual. I had 50# in the ruck.

I like the apparatus. I actually ordered a weight vest and it should be here soon, so we'll see how I like it.

I was pretty stoked when I nailed the first time as a new pr for walking only, considering there's a gnarly uphill portion. Just gotta keep on truckin'/ruckin'. I'm going to be doing 3 miles straight this Friday.

Here's a link to that ruck mod: http://www.innovativeperformance.co/

I recommend getting a locking collar so the weights don't bounce around all willy nilly.

today:
7 rounds
5x strict pullups
10x dips
15x pushups
25x situps
10x (5 per leg) step ups with 25# dbs
3xY+Ls (shoulder mobility drill)
30 sec rest

going to do 8x 400m intervals a little later.

Hit the gym for a short PT session of bench press warming up with 10@ 135,225 and pyramiding down 5 to 1 reps from 245-265 and 3x10@115 lat pulldowns. I'm starting to appreciate the advantage of occasionally running outside for PT is not driving 12 miles to the gym and back every morning.

Work out report:

Did some wicked supersets into a pair of used Juicy brand yoga pants I stole out of a Lebanese girl's basket at the laundromat.

Routine as follows:

1x Standing Groin Tug (Approx 5 min or UTC)
1x Refractory period
(Repeat x3)
1x Sobering stare at myself in the mirror questioning my moral compass (Approx 2 min)
3x Kettelbell swings
1x Deadlift
1x Glass of OJ and reruns of CSI:NY
1x Sleepless night staring at the cracks in my ceiling, contemplating the pointlessness of life
(Repeat ad infinitum)

All in all it's a real smoker.

Most of what I'm doing is stuff I'm making up for apft improvement, and to get a sub 2:50 on a 12 mile ruck. 3 days a week I'll be doing the conditioning stuff from the MA ruck selection plan but that's just to prep for other crap I may end up doing like team events or obstacle courses.

Today was pretty short:

pushups
2x1 minute max effort 1 minute rest between sets
46x-24x

weighted pullups
5x5 25# 2 minute rest between sets

weighted decline situps
5x5 35# 1 minute rest between sets

pushups
5x20 3x15 1x5 1 minute rest between sets

4 mile jog

Also deathy is a confirmed speed hacker.

To be fair, it was on a track and I had no water, so my pack was probably at least 5lbs lighter than yours. Also, don't forget that you can actually pass the run :negative:

They probably started down the bulk road when they were younger and their skin was more elastic, or they took a slower path that gave the skin a chance to stretch.

Apparently it's destined to happen if you get roid-level huge and there's nothing that can be done about it.

20minute max rounds.

5blurpees
10 push ups
15 sit ups
20 air squats.


Quick, easy work out. People still manage to gently caress it up and half rear end it.


Whatever, atleast the army SGT supply girl/my girl's bestfriend was wearing tights? leggings? and her vagina was in full blown camel toe mode. I wanted to tell her, but I don't know her personally and did not want to get a sexual harassment complaint.

I just ran about 10 miles in about 2:05'. Once again I felt a significant decrease in energy and speed after the first hour. By the last half mile I was jogging at about walking speed barely able to lift my feet. With one week to go till the race, I'm hoping sheer stubbornness and adrenaline will keep me running to the finish. Until then I'm going to be overcome with anticipation and jitters.

Get some energy gels/chewables that have some caffeine and carbs in them, and take it prior to and during the race. Make sure to take a pre-race dump because of the caffiene.

I use GU stuff since some flavors don't have caffiene, but there a lot of other decent brands out there too. I use a caffeinated gel prior to a workout, and the no caffeine chews (which are small gummies) during the events. Make sure to read the directions, and don't wait until race day to try it out.

Make sure that when you take in any Gels/Chewable's that you're drinking a lot of water with them when you ingest them. They're incredibly hypertonic, and to be readily absorbed into your system they need water to bring them to an isotonic state "neutral" which can really only be done with water.

If you're gellin it up, skip on gatorade or sports drinks and use water.... Or use things like electrolyte tabs... But use only half a tablet since there's only so many electrolytes that you need, and again it's that whole balance ordeal.

12x as many straight reps without resting in bottom position

15 minute rest to change footwear

3 mile ruck 57# + 1L water (1L is ~2.2# just so you know)
34:14
that includes the wait time for traffic (which by my guess was probably about 2-3 minutes total)
