Ann-Michel having way to much fun

26/8 Nice commute with 3 extra hill repeats for more fun on the way home 80min.

PM Deck Squats 2 x 20
Box Jumps 4 x 20
Rack Squats 10 x 24kg, 5 x 32kg, 5 x 40kg, 3 x 5 x 48kg
1 Leg deadlifts 3 x 5 x 64kg
Renegade row/push-ups 2 x 5 x 80kg

28/8 Busy moving stuff down from upstairs & ripping up carpet, so lots of extra trips up & down stairs, but I did manage to get out for a 15min run.

29/9 Very quick ride today on the MTB only 35min as we took the Kids out for a trip on a Steam train for the day. They had a great time & were very tired when we got home.
PM Nice fun play in the alley way.
Warm-up carry all the equipment to alley way
Truck tyre drags 8 x 50m
Tyre flipping & Sledge hammer hitting 20min
Then drag everything back

30/9 New Carpet went in today, so dragged the rest of the stuff down stairs in the early AM & back upstairs in the PM. Had the day off & had a bit of spare time so got out on the MTB & headed out to do 3 laps of Han's Loop. Great fun track, managed to ride laps consistently with 6sec being the difference between fastest & slowest. 2:03hrs 680m climbing. Legs have felt better, maybe it was that truck tyre.

25/8 Easy day with a tail wind both ways. Feeling a little flat so just enjoyed the spin 67min
45min KB class, went easy again do technique with a beginner.
When I got home I went for a quick 1.5km run. Need to do some short runs, just to be ready for the start of the 24hr. Barney one of our dogs wasn't happy that I made him come with me, he's enjoying being inside to much this winter.

23/8 Added some hill repeats to the ride home tonight, which were so much fun on the SS. 1:35hrs. Will have to do lots of these over the next month & a half.
45min KB class, had fun doing lots of reps, 760 to be exact

24/8 Wet & cold & busy = no extras 67min
50min KB class, worked with a newbie so an easy session for me but not the main group who did 1 - 20reps es of 1A Swings & rack lunges

19/8 Easy commute 68min

PM. The last play session at the Scout Hall tonight as the work are finished at home
Deck Squats 2 x 20
Then we did lots of hip mobility drills
Cossack Lunges 3 x 5es + 10kg
Then it was time to try out an idea. I've been looking at Prowlers, but I don't really have the space for one. The rings had been taken down at home during the reno's, so I attached them to a 4x4 tyre & added a 20kg bulgarian bag inside the tyre & we did 6 sets of sprints.
Did it work? yes
Did it hurt? yes
Does it rip your Lungs out? yes
Is it fun? yes
Are people going to hate/Love doing it? yes
Then to finish off played with 15kg Bulgarian bag

22/8 24hr Worlds Solo champs training starts now, 7 weeks out
I've finally got that entry to the worlds, so I better do some riding
Headed out to Kinglake through Diamond creek. So much nicer going this way, with less traffic & more hills. Nobody to play with so it was a 7:ooam start. Crusied out and only passed a few riders on the way out. Haven't ridden this climb since before the fires Feb 2009. It's still got a lot of growing for the forest up there, as it's still very exposed since the fire. On the way back down the hill passed lots of riders heading up. Saw Alex Randell heading up so did a quick U-turn & joint him for 2-3km before turning back around & heading home. Felt pretty good for the lack of miles, but need to get out & do some longer rides. 3:08hrs

PM A play in the Alley way.
Had people working in pairs working with tyres & the rope. I was left by myself so I did a bit of a different session from the others
Farmers walks 2 x 24kg 500m
Farmers Carries 2 x 12kg alt over head lockout & rack position (this was easier & harder than the 2 x 24kg, as it was hard to breath)
Walking Lunge 15kg 130m
4x4 tyre 36kg sprints, Sprint up incline 60m & walk back 20min, no idea how many.

18/8 Cruised on the bike today, just giving the body some easy bike time before the hard work begins. 68min

45min KB Class 20kg. Had 2 newbies today out of 9 regulars, so I set the regulars a nasty 2 KB work-out & did lots of technique work with the newbies. The 20 felt light & easy today, which is a good sign.

16/8 Rode easy today after throwing around the 2 x 24kg & 2 x 28kg yesterday. Upper body a bit fatigued which made the steeper climb a little harder on the SS. 70min
45min KB Class. Was going to go a little easier today until Vick asked if we could have an easier session than last week & it all changed 16kg
Warm-up
Around body pass 2 x 40
OA Swings 1 x 100
Snatch 1 x 100
Cleans 1 x 100
Jerks 1 x 100
Lunges 1 x 100
1 Arm/leg deadlift 1 x 100
Felt better after this

17/8 Just a easy commute 68min.
