Never Quit.

Especially on the days when you want to quit the most. And never before you start the workout, you never know when the training gods are going to shine upon you.
Today was such a day. I have been up since 3 am( don't ask me why but I always wake up an hour before my alarm is set,not matter when it is.Sucks.) and just had no juice. Lollygagged around after I got home and basically tried to stall as long as possible as I just didnt think I had much in me and today was speed day with the 24 kg. Didnt feel real speedy. Monday's million freakin reps must have taken something out of me and when I looked back and saw I did 300 Darcs last time I did this workout I was Not encouraged.

I was hoping for a solid 200. Little did I know.

DARC
16kg x20x2 sets

24 kgx20 x 19 sets!
380 reps
20,140 lbs! *( oops, there it is,lol. 20k)

When I ran and raced bikes I always ran negative splits. Which means I finish the last half of the race or training ride faster than I started. Many time much faster. Today was the same and the last half of the sets were so much better and easier than the first half I can't almost believe it was the same workout!
Smart move to stay with 20 reps on the day instead of the 30 I did last time. Focus is on bell speed and power not endurance. That's mondays ;).
Staying under lactate levels my recovery just gets better each set and this is what happend today. Started feeling really good around 150 reps and the rest time was cut in half. Now I HATE to watch the clock during workouts but I know I was getting back to the bell much faster, not sitting down and not feeling winded at all. My lungs had opened and the swinging was easy.
So after I did 200 I thought 260 sounded good. Blew past that and saw 300 easily in the sights.
Kept feeling better and killed 320, 340, then I did the math and saw that 380 would give me a 20,000 pound workout and knew I had to do that.
Thought for a sec about doing 400 just because but decided not to get greedy and leave some in the tank. Still had waiters walks to do.
Never quit,especially before you start.
