AAR cals
Bike erg cals
rest 6 min x 2 sets
*first set at 85%, second set at 90%, so leave room to get faster on second set
For some reason I did not write my times down, but my second set was faster than my first….also due to some logistical and circumstantial issues had to pivot and go to gym with no AAR but used a ski erg so did the best calculation that the internet could come up with for road work. But even though i don’t remember times i remember paces on bike pretty vividly

1789—1:51.7—-1:49.1—1:52.6–1:53.1—1:52.3—-458–444–442—445
So with a 1:49 average on the front end and a 1:51 on the back end i’m going to assume that my total average was about 1:50.????? – since i didn’t enter in both intervals with the rest time incluced
**you will perform 9 total sets – your goal is max meters. You are rowing for one minute and 40 seconds. Then, you will rest 20 seconds. Repeat this for 5 total sets before taking a 2min rest. At the end of the 2min break, you will then perform 4 sets of one minute and 40 seconds for max meters with a 20 second rest

Had to do this saturday as I was not going to be able to a double saturday or have access to a rope on saturday so I switched the two and that might have made the ttb a little stiffer but everything else felt decent other than earlier than I like training

5+2 – one thing I wouldn’t have said a year ago was man I wanted a whole lot more rope climbs, those felt good, fast and descent felt really good. Hs walk first round was good, after that it fell apart, just breathing, and some wrist discomfort but thats more on what I can tolerate than anything.

Did the first set on paralletes and man it is so much harder on the ground

I think with a back lever your hands are supposed to be facing the ground? I just did not trust myself there

7:00***** with a strong asterisk – i wanted to see if i could do the first 15 strict ring dips unbroken and then see what would happen after that, and I did and it felt pretty good, but the asterisk came in the ring push ups when the strap started slipping so i adjusted it once and just had to switch rings so that cost me a lot of time.

*lets try to mimic the paces from last week here
Because of last week having to run outside i opted for that to keep paces similar and distance as close to equivalent as possible and had a homie jump in with me.. The only place that i fell off this week was pacing on the bike because we got 2 brand new bike ergs, and they were fresh out the box today. 13:10 & 12:49 – distances ran were 475-400–300–225
