Well it's been several weeks since my last blog update and in that time my training has been somewhat erratic. When I say erratic I mean flittering between running and lifting weights. There has been attempts at Power to the People deadlifts as well as HIT style bodybuilding training. Thrown into that mix was an attempt to get running again.
It has been some time since I have ran for any more than two days in a week so I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of soreness in my first couple of runs. The longest run has been just short of 40 minutes so I'm not up to the 2 1/2 hour efforts from a couple of years back but still it's a start. Added to this is the fact that I'm carrying at least 8 to 10 kg's more than when I last made a fist at running and at least 14 kg's heavier than when I last competed in triathlon back in 2006.
There are a number of pretty significant events coming up so I want my training to go onto automatic pilot for a bit. Meaning that I don't want to be umming and ahhing about what I'm going to do.
So the plan is to do the Program Minimum from Enter the Kettlebell over the next 4 weeks in the morning. Monday and Thursday - man makers consisting of 12 mins. of swings and jogging (barefoot) and Tuesday and Friday - 5 mins of get-ups in the kalos stenhos style. I'm going to do this in the morning so that if nothing happens in the PM from a workout perspective then at least I've ticked a box. In the PM I'm tossing up between doing a crossfit style on-ramp program or to continue running. Time will tell.
