I spent a couple of amped hours today on the @athlinks #podcast (airs next Tuesday) talking about my history, racing, training, life philosophies & more. Good energy.
÷
Anyway, seen here is a visual representation of one of the topics I got into: #functionalfitness. Some of the details I get into you'll see in how I conduct my "strength" days. But in a nutshell; 1) they always include a cardio component 2) I'm not endlessly trying to go heavier in my weight amounts 3) everything I do is #functionaltraining related so that it benefits me in everyday real life 4) I don't care 2 shits about form. I only care about getting the workload done.

On 11.20 I went just under 40min on this workout & felt strong. I felt pretty good today, but went 42min. Last time I started from hill top → down. This time I went from hill bottom → up. Which often results in a slower time despite both encompassing the same amount of up/down reps.
÷
For time (W¹):
-800m tempo run
-800m carry brassbag [shoulders]
-800m tempo run
-800m farmers carry
-800m tempo run
-800m carry bucket
-800m tempo run
-800m carry sandbag [bear hug]
-800m race pace run
÷
I have no provable answer as to why starting at the bottom & heading up the hill produces a slower result virtually every time. I switch direction up each time I do it. My working hypothesis is that I'm coming out of each carry transition at a slightly faster pace when going into the downhill than if I'm dropping & going into the uphill. It doesn't really feel like that in the moment, but the numbers don't lie that I go slower so...

When I first got this @hoyttargetarchery Carbon El

When I first got this @hoyttargetarchery Carbon Element bow it was set on the lowest poundage possible; 50#. I'd put 50 arrows down range & that night I could feel it in my back, arms, even hands. I got this bow in '14.
÷
Now I can put 80 arrows down range & the pull weight was maxed out at 60# 2yrs ago. And, it undoubtedly feels easier to pull & I feel no soreness that night or the next day. So here I am 6yrs later & the key thing that's changed? The significant amount of strength & grip power I've gained since then. All thanks to copious amounts of OCR race prep, training & nearly 150 races non-stop. In duathlon, upper body strength & bulk is pointless so even pulling a 50# bow was work. So that's a pretty rad evolution to feel.
÷
Whenever I decide to replace this bow, which to be honest I don't know why I would because even now it's perfect & fills all my needs, I'd definitely go up in limb weight. And change up models (but not brands #hoytarchery), maybe to the CARBON RX-4 ALPHA.

Being an athlete whose constantly seeking to perfo

Being an athlete whose constantly seeking to perform is not always about being the fastest, but it is always about moving forward & making every moment count. When I'm on the road bike, I'm not stopping for coffee. I'm not stopping at every 7-Eleven. I'm not stopping to take a break. When I'm on the trail, if we can't chat while running, we won't be having a conversation. If the fastest I can go is by walking, I'll walk. But I'm sure as shit not going to walk, if I'm capable of running.
÷
I'm the kind of guy that can be out the door in under 15min after waking up - even at 3am. I'm the guy that can drive up & be on a TH, run or workout w/in a couple of mins after arrival. I'm the guy that after a 6hr day hammering a big mountain, I'm in the car & driving down the mtn w/in 5 minutes. I'm even the guy that can head right out the door for a run or bike while still chewing my lunch. Why? The task is done so I'm off, moving forward & on to the next activity.

For those that are curious as to what I meant when

For those that are curious as to what I meant when I wrote a few weeks back about having another idea for my ladder than just simple DIY monkey bars I showed then... here's the answer.
÷
I've raced low upside down obstacles like this several times (@ocrwc @noramchamps). Most recently at @savagerace in TX (Inversion Therapy) & that's partially what gave me the idea to try a DIY version. Ultimately, mine functions the same. But, I could argue that mine's harder because 1) I can change the angles 2) it swings around & moves 3) I can change the length 4) the rungs on a ladder are fatter & oddly shaped + have tall shoe grip ribs - so they are brutal on your hands.
÷
Based on this working exactly as I expected, I have a 3rd DIY obstacle idea for this ladder 👍Part 3 coming soon, stay tuned.

You might just see a list of unimpressive numbers

You might just see a list of unimpressive numbers below, & technically, you'd be right. But there's more to this story than just a list of times. Sure it shows the exact times of a series of same same workouts I did day after day after week. But it says more than that.

If you read it properly, here's what it really says; #dedication, #commitment, #progress, #consistency, #repetition, #desire, #goals, #motivation, #resilience, #mindset, #routine, #focus, #progress, #followthrough, #perseverance. 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦.

I'm focusing hard to get back into the swing of things after the loss of Rambo. Naturally, it's proving to be difficult as normal routines seem.. trivial & unimportant. BUT I'm intent on keeping forward progress a little each day until I get back to the "me" that's presently discombobulated. #staythecourse never seemed more apropos.
