Long Hard Road to Elite Fitness...

Been reading the forums and articles on the forums for quite a while, really an outstanding resource for anything physical training related.

Decided to jump on the T-Nation band wagon and keep a training log! I’ve been running and swimming a long time, but only within the past year have I explored strength and conditioning, and continue to see sweet gains.

So to start off this fantastic training log, I’ll be doing a one week experiment by taking the workouts from Mark Divine’s Sealfit website.

His website seems good, and honestly, I hope I’m in good enough shape to keep up with him. My most recent goal, finishing the SoCal Tough Mudder on May 28th with a team from work, has made me change how I train.

Excited to get rolling!
