Janathon day 5: finally - some running!
fitness ·
It's been a busy day, and hasn't finished yet, so I'll keep this brief (ish). Today has been a two-pronged effort, starting off with a quick and sneaky lunchtime run round Rickmansworth. That was nice! It was cold but not excessively so, and muddy but not unpleasantly much: I went up next to the river for a while, then looped round the Royal Masonic school and back. Only 3.1 miles including a 10-ish minute injury-busting warm-up walk, done in 34:28 total and ending up at about a 9-minute mile, but significant as it's my first run of the year. Woo hoo!
Then, this evening, I made it to my first session of the year at Wild Training. After a couple of weeks of disruption, the "challenge week" of kettle bells was very hard, and I'm sure 16Kg used to be lighter! The 35-minute session comprised:
1) The "25" set: clean and presses (25L, 25R); parallelette rows (25L, 25R); 25 press-ups
2) The "20" set: overhead snatch and opposite-leg lunge (20L, 20R); parallelette rows (20L, 20R); 20 press-ups
3) The "15" set: Turkish get-ups (15L, 15R); parallelette rows (15L, 15R); 15 press-ups
... then, wash, rinse and repeat until the time is up! I managed a total of 445 reps in the 35 minutes, which was less than last time, but hey, who's counting?
