So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program (FORCE). Today was Day 82.
The first week of the fall semester is always one of bedlam, slipping schedules, and unexpected emergencies. This week was no exception to this expectation. So I wasn't able to manage more-frequent updates, and this one will be pretty succinct.
But I have managed to get in some training, however meager.
Tuesday I started out with 5 clean and push-press ladders of 2 rungs each with the 32KG kettlebell, which means that the next time I do clean and push-press ladders I should increase the number of rungs on the ladder. I also tried to work on my grip by doing single-arm swings, but I only managed 5 minutes of 10 single-arm swings per minute with the 32KG kettlebell before my grip gave out. I then ran about 2.7 miles, varying the tempo of my speed as I ran. I also did TRX workout 1 of week 12 of the TRX force program. As in week 11, I was pretty beat by the workout.
Wednesday, fitness-wise, I managed workout 2 of TRX FORCE program week 12, 5 minutes of 10 high pulls per minute with the 24KG kettlebell, and did about 30 minutes of rowing.
Today, Thursday, Day 82, I did 3 clean and push-press ladders with 3 rungs with the 32KG kettlebell. I also did 20 minutes of 10 swings per minute with the 32KG kettlebell, or 14,109.58 pounds lifted in 20 minutes. I also did 30 minutes of rowing, and TRX workout 1 of week 12 of the FORCE program. Nothing too exciting - just trying to get my workouts in under very compressed and hectic schedules.
I am noting that with my schedule I am only making one or two runs per week. Not the best training program if I am trying to work up to a 10-miler! September, the month of my 10-miler race, will no doubt be interesting.
