2010-2011 55m Training

sat mar 12

20’ bike
5’ bike cool down
some microstretching

notes:
-no soreness today and still did the slightly higher volume pcl therapy stuff. knee is feeling better and better so maybe this will help me in season, and i think coming into the season fresh not bogged down by huge weight volumes could be big for me. in season i may limit lifting sessions to just one or two lower body exercises with a plyo contrasting it and essentially benching for upper. i think thats really all id need. itd be higher quality, low volume and i think my strength is as high as it could possibly need to be for someone of my speed so even if i dont see great strength gains or a dropoff if im running faster its no problem

Weigh in - 144

Notes:
-weight went back up, maybe last weigh in was a fluke. I doubt the muscular stuff I did was enough to put on weight, and from the looks of it my bf didn’t increase
-ended up feeling minor quad soreness last night
