Is the lifting you are doing with the team? At first glance it looks similar to what I have read about your program before college.

Good luck in college and enjoy it as it goes fast.

Charlie

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.

What are badger miles and mushroom?

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.

haha ok, sounds interesting…

Getting some nice volume there mate. Do you have a goal number, and do you plan on hitting that number for a certain time period. ie weeks?

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.
