29/10 Commute on MTB again today for 1:20hr
PM
Deck squats 2 x 20
Step-up/Lunge 34kg OSBB 3 x 20es
Agility band sprints 1band 2 x 15 (not coming all the way back, keeping tension on the band), then Neil started complaining that I was soft so 1 x 30, the Neil was saying it's not like doing 2 bands so I did 2 x 15 with 2 bands. With the 2 bands it didn't seem any harder on the out run even though you can't go as far, but on the way back it's a different story, they try to destroy you.
Then it was into the street for tyre sprints 6 x 30m, next sprint started when the HR dropped to 120bpm.
Leg very fried after this.

31/10 Easy spin on the trainer 60min HR 118 - 124.

28/10 MTB commute 70min
45min KB class Main sets today were done with 2 x 16kg
LCCJ 3 x 3min 23, 24, 27reps
Double Snatch 3 x 1min 13, 14, 17reps
Renegade row Push-up 3 x 1min 8, 9, 10reps
1 Leg deadlift 2min 20es

The doubles are great for getting that HR pumping. With the LCCJ I can push 20 out in about 90sec but when it becomes work for time it just turns into a survival exercise. Tried not to rest in hang but by the last set this was no longer an option, this is why I was able to push out more reps. Need to practice more time in rack.

25/9 1:20hr commute
PM Did another session down the park tonight, with a small turn out of 4 of us, so we worked in pairs. Justin & Ann-Michel, & Jen & myself.
We had 2 tyres for flipping & hitting, & 2 tyres for dragging
We started with the Flipping. So 10 hits with the sledge Hammer over each shoulder & 20 flips of the tractor tyre across the oval & back.
After this it was swap over & onto the Tyre drags with an old 4WD tyre with the water tube in it. So much more drag on the grass. So over the oval & back then pick up the 2 x 16kg KB & perform 20 LCCJ, & repeat.
By this time the flipping tyres were back & it was race time.
First round working together Jen & myself flipping the tractor tyre half way across & back & the other dragged the heavy 4WD tyre across the oval & back.
Of course I said go before they were ready & got an early lead before being passed, but with the early lead we were turned around first & I say we won by a good 30cm.
Then we swapped & Justin & AM started before we could get ready, but didn't know where the turn around point was so I added an extra 5m to it when we were asked on the way past, which lead to an easy win. Yes AM I do make up the rules as I go. But as Neil would say a win is a win!!!

How to Advertise in RussiaRiley giving Neil some extra coaching with 2 agility bands. Now lets see how long they last doubled up.


22/4 Easy 65min commute


PM Deck Squats 2 x 20


Step-up Lunge 3 x 10es OSBB


Band Sprints 3 x 10 I only went 1 band, but instead of coming all the way back to the tyre, I only came back to the edge of the carpet, to keep tension on the band.


Bulgarian Split Lunge 3 x 15 OSBB


4WD Tyre sprints 1 x 6 25m


The Bear 3 x 5 OSBB



It's amazing how much easier it is when it's not on the grass & doesn't have a tube with 15kg of water stuffed in it, like the other 4WD tyre.


23-24/10 No training for me as I was helping out at the National Lacrosse League. ALL-STAR SERIES game here in Melbourne. Friday's game was good, but Saturdays game was fantastic & the boy's really put on a show. Not much on the injury front which is aways a good thing & so not to much work for me.

21/10 77min commute
45min KB class 24kg & 10kg weight vest.
Decided to make everyone go heavier today & the weight vest just added to the challange. One the weight & two the extra levels of discomfort due to the extra level of sweating that occurs.

19/10 Commute 66min
45min KB Class 16kg

20/10 Extended the commute & add a few extra hills in, which are aways fun pushing a 45 x 18 on the singlespeed 1:46hr with 465m climbing instead of the usual 190m. Need to start making this loop longer on the way home to get some more miles in the legs before the Kona 24hr.
45min KB class with a nice 10min set in the middle for fun.
