W3d2
Experimental bridging type week but I’m going to try a 3days per week condensed conjugate approach.
I’ll get to hit some upper and lower stuff 3x a week with varying intensities and it’ll also leave 4 days free for BJJ/MMA/runs and swims.
Sadly for me but happily for him my friend who was going to be programming has just had a kid so he doesn’t have a bunch of spare time right now haha
Let’s call this cycle 1, week 1 day 1

Log a bit empty at the moment.
Kicking into proper prep now.
Strength phase with running and rucking.
Aiming to keep all my runs outdoors and in the hills.
Comfort breed complacency.
Weeks look like this
Day 1 Ground to overheads + bw stuff
Day 2 Sandbag squats bearhug style + 1 mile run (building)
Day 3 DB bench press + bodyweight stuff
Day 4 long ruck in hills, max elevation and distance
Day 5 bodyweight rows + bodyweight stuff
Day 6 pull ups + 3 Miler for time
Will be increasing weight/lowering reps over the weeks. Increasing the pace of the 1 miler, trying to increase the distance on the ruck and pushing the 3 Miler each week although that’s just about maxing out, and doesn’t matter if in fluctuating speed or not.
Shorter sessions, more frequently
W2.
Warm ups
5x5 ground to overhead 55kg
PT: 25x 4 count flutters, 2 pump burpees, bicycle crunches
10 minute cool down jog
5x14 reps sandbag bearhug squats
Challenging lift but I feel like this will be very beneficial to my overall ‘real life’s strength’
1 mile run at 66% pace (roughly 5:30km)
I also recently bought a pair of Merrell vapour glove bearfoot trail shoes. God damn, they are so comfortable. Years and years ago I had a pair of Adidas toe shoes, and I liked them but they were very slippery and VERY ugly. These ones just look like super low profile shoes, but they are light as a feather and let my feet spread out naturally. I don’t know if I’ll use them for long runs, but they were interesting to use today on the one miler as it was real-time feedback about foot strike pattern
I bought the Merrell ones because I got a pair of their Breacher model mid-cut boots for work and they are fucking amazing. Never worn Merrell before but now they’re 2 for 2. True to size for both too
