Final Post

It seems that this two year project is at its end. I will be shutting down the blog - as no one seems to read it anymore. Thanks for your interest, hope to see you all at training soon.

Book discussion

I don't know how many people are still reading the blog, but I thought it might be a way to discuss some of the books on the reading list. Anyone interested?

Workout of the Month

Here's an easy one, and just before it gets too cold or snowy outside.

Run 5k. Post time & age.


Mine - 39 year old male, time: 29:30. Hey - it was cold.

Work Out of the Month - Oct

Try this work out - let me know your times:
3 Rounds - 21 / 15 /9 :

Deadlift (185 lbs) - scale down if necessary.
Burpees
Suicide Run of 5/10/15/20/15

Round One -
21 Deadlifts (whatever weight you use) -- heavy lifts, probably can't do all 21 at a time. I did three sets of 7 myself. Then switch to Burpees - these sucked, all 21. Then the Suicide Run -- reminds me of football practice - it sucked even more.

Round Two-
15 Deadlifts - pretty tired at this point, did three quick sets of 5. Then onto 15 Burpees - which sucked again. Suicide Run - this second one nearly killed me.

Round Three -
9 Deadlifts - three rounds of three, not much left in the gas tank. 9 Burpees in a row - that put me on empty. Last Suicide Run was basically a jog.

Time: 13:35 --- and I was pretty darn happy at that.

Fall Fit Test

It's that time of year again... so be ready -- the Fall Fit Test is incoming.

Work Out of the Month - Sept 2010

1 mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1 mile run


I hope to finish in under an hour.
I'll post my results when done.

On a side note - four of us from my office are doing this workout together (a little team building race) - and we are all "old" - with me being the second youngest at 39.
