Work was super busy and tedious today. By the time I could get to the gym- it was balls to the wall; switching cars, pickup & swap kiddo, answer work emails, etc... The workout started slow then got very very fast. I really wanted to do 'Chelsea' but it would have been way too much and I'm still sore from the past few days.
3×10 Banded Good Mornings
-then-
10×50 yards – 30 secs rest between sprints – goal is under 7 seconds
rest 3 minutes
10×50 yards – 30 secs rest between sprints – goal is under 7 seconds

I felt really good- Paul and I were neck and neck through most of them. We consistently blasted through them just under 7 seconds, our fastest in the 6.86 range. Tried to keep to the Pose method but felt like I was too upright and not leaning forward enough. Always room to improve. Would have helped had it not been 10 degrees, but running int he cold is somewhat easier this far into winter. It got the heart rate pumping pretty good though- a different pattern of start/stops than other sprints. To quote Ben ' used by the NE Patriots to test players. They have to run the whole set in less than 7 sec reps.' Not as taxing as anything Tabata style or 10x 'any other longer distance' but I'm sure beneficial in some manner. The old Cross-fit 'no pattern' technique always apparent- change it up so our bodies never adapt but only grow stronger. Feeling like I need to add some isolation type sets- grip work, weighted pullups and handstand practice. Was practicing muscle ups on the rings and was called out that I am there -just needed to roll forward. Ugh- so close but feel so far. Energy wise, very smooth throughout the day. A little too much coffee- but alert and upbeat. Paleo still providing.
On another note- Neil gave me an awesome shout out on his blog.
