"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."

Fast and easy ruck
Yesterday's 52 kg one arm swings didn't leave me sore or tired this morning. A wee bit too much wine but other than that, good to go.
I was a bit worried when I started the ruck as my right glute and hammy were a bit tight but after doing an iso squat on the first lap it started to loosen up very quickly.
I didn't think it would be a fast day but my legs felt great and recovery after a hard lap very quick
50 lb ruck
12 laps
11 iso squats
6th lap 7:44
8th lap 7:22
11th lap 7:09 !!
nose breathing the whole time, too.

I guess I didn't drink as much tea as I thought between wine :) oops
