"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Sunday Ruck. Hard work, work.
It was just work this morning, as I expected it would be. It doesn't take much to take the cream off the top of my fitness and missing a week of "training", world travel across many time zones and montezuma's revenge didn't help either.
But I knew it wouldn't matter, either. I would just ruck up and do my best. See who was home, as Glenn would say.
It wasn't that bad; the first five laps were around 8:30 seconds and the body just didn't want to go any faster but then on lap six things loosened up and I got to 8:15's then the last three laps were all around 8:00 or less!
Two hours, twelve laps.
Same 15 kg ruck weight. Won't bump that up til I get back from Sweden July 1.
Glenn put on this Army Cadence song above yesterday during our sets and I thought it would be good to listen to as I walked my laps.
It was. But after a few times it started to distract trying to get the next one up on the phone so I ditched it.
But, it was in my head and that was even better
28 kg front squat tomorrow. Can't wait
datsit.
