Another week gone, another week strong, faster, fitter.....maybe, maybe not

Mon (pm) - gym (lower)
Tues (am) - gym (upper)
Weds (am) - 1hr easy ride
Thurs (am) - another moderately paced (sub <5km/min) run - 8km
Friday (pm) - golf
Sat (am) - easy morning walk, then in arvo decided to run the Rings loop again. Fark it is an absolute c*nt of a run. New shoes were awesome but some absolutely grueling sections of trail with a fair bit of walking and even a short sit/lie down. Still somehow marginally quicker than last time. Brutal.

Sunday - easy 20km on the mountain bike

Saturdays high intensity session was another sweatfest and went a bit (well a lot) like this
Warmup - 2km row, then some stretches and mobility stuff with bands and the big stick
Main workout was 10 rounds of:

1. 50kg BB push press x 10 reps,
2. 24kg KB swings x 15 reps,
3. 1 min row for max metres (which ranged between 346m and 280m by the end)
   Only rest during the round is moving between exercises. Between rounds is 30secs to come back from the dead.

Then did some abs and arms stuff to finish off.

Week gone but not wasted

Monday - easy 10km CBD run
Tuesday - gym session (AM) - bench and squats 5x5 + accessory work. Weights going up on the 5x5, starting to get a bit harder. Form still good
Weds - 5km run CBD. 1.5km warmup and warmdown with a couple of km of speed work in the middle
Thurs - gym session (AM) - deadlifts and OHP 5x5 + accessory work. Then MTB in the forest in the PM - 17km and 526m elevation. Ended up being a shorter but much harder ride than planned as I busted the derailleur on the first down so had to convert to a single speed bike for the rest of the ride. Actually got up hills faster, but was just so much harder.
Friday - pilates (AM), golf (PM)
Saturday - beach walk with wife (5km) then 10km trail run in the arvo - Great fun.
Sunday - rest day
