Training Log Archive: Becks

After yesterday was such a wash out, I decided to combine yesterday's boring session ("long" Z2) with today's more fun session and get a longer run out there - have been hitting the edge of East Rock too much and not getting into the hill. So today I went everywhere, there were chipmunks squeaking everywhere and the leaves are getting a yellow tinge. I was even a bit chilly at the start. Yet another gorgeous morning and so good to be out. Z2 is really boring, and I swear it's actually more difficult than Z3 which is a nice flowing pace. Session was 47 mins Z2, with 10 x 10 (20) hill sprints when I hit the good hill, then 24 mins Z3. I am constantly amazed by how beautiful the weather is here.

And then down the gym for strength session one. Up a small fraction on all weights this week. Feeling surprisingly strong considering the rather excessive warm up. A bit worried about my shrug technique, think I need to catch up with Steve when I'm back in the Burgh in November. Not feeling the hip drive like I should be. Squats look good though.
