Between the move and the weekend at StrongEndurance my rucking has taken the brunt of it. Didn't miss any workouts but I missed two rucks in a row last week and today was get back on the horse day. It went well although with so few miles in my legs over the last twenty years a week off feels like a month off to my upper body!
Not exactly the best day to come back after the 60 and 68 kg swings but so it goes. I just started slowly and took a lot of 30-60 sec rest to let the legs 'aerate' lol. Towards the end it was my upper back muscles yelling but I got through it.
Have to confess there were more than a few times I gave myself permission to only do 9 or 10 laps. And that would have been fine. Nothing I'm more scared of these days than a foot bone injury! Slow is fine.
45 lb ruck
12 laps
1:55 min
RPE 7 (took it very easy)
BW 169.8
BF 12.8

Big presses tomorrow, 165 for 3's
"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."
