Sunday 9/13
Afternoon:
10 Badger Miles
8 Minute Ice Bath
notes: An interesting fact is that I am 25lbs lighter than this point last year weighing in at around 148, which should hopefully make the transition to the 800m a lot easier.
Volume for Day: 10 Miles
Volume for Week: 51 Miles
Right now since I am with the Mid-D guys lifting has kinda gotten push back and I am just doing a little on the side to keep up with it until we get a little more into the routine.
Haha, well we keep track of volume in a strange way that I won’t go into because… well… it is our secret. And the mushroom is my personal touch to the system.

2 Miles
Dynamic Warm Up
3X1600m @(5:23, 5:18, 5:14) with 3:00 recovery
1X800m @2:36
2 Miles
notes: Threshold workout via 1600m repeats, I was instructed to not go balls out so the last one I only did an 800m, but I felt great the whole time and I am very encouraged by this workout.
Night:
2 Mile Bike Warm Up
Dynamic Gyrations lol
4X8 Squats @135lbs
4X8 CGRDL’s @135lbs
notes: Abbreviated workout tonight because of time constraints. I have found a way to get more hamstring recruitment on CGRDL’s.
Umm, well I probably won’t go much higher than this (60-65 miles), the duration of me hitting this volume is up to my coach. I have adapted to the volume pretty well and I just have to make sure I keep an eye on my diet and get 9 hours of sleep per night. I’m actually planning on doing a food log example for one day this week.
