Training - What Training?!

Lifted.

Was a really relaxing way to start the day. 07:00 Sunrays coming through the window. Flask of hot coffee. Still in my PJs.

Good job it was in my pain cave really.

I have to look all the moves up as I genuinely don’t know what they are.

That farmers walk started to burn on the 4th and 5th rep. That gave me the tiniest snippet into you gym/hyrox type folk’s lives!

And once more into the Crossfit silliness.

There were box jumps. :nauseated_face:

My trial is coming to an end, I don’t know if I’m going to continue or not.

On one hand it’s pretty fun and they’re a nice group. On the other, yikes it’s hard and I don’t know if I’ll commit enough to get through the pain.

12k trail run for me, one of my regular routes, probably going to have to be a bit more organised in 2-3 weeks if I want to do it again or dig the headtorch out.

Also did a few leg strength exercises in the gym after, think I need to work on my quads and hamstrings etc., now I’m cycling less and swimming is dead to me I’ll try and get in a few times a week.
