Hi Folks,
SATURDAY workout is on. Bring your mask and LMK if you are attending.
I have included two strength workouts for this week: you can do the “regular” length workout or a shorter version. I’ve found with increased endurance training I need to offset the muscle mass and strength loss with key lifts: trap bar deadlifts, goblet squat, swings and loaded carries. Just a few key lifts are essential to maintain LBM ( lead body mass).
Anticipate the cooler mornings by setting out the appropriate clothing the night before so you don’t bail on your workout. You’ll be more likely to get up and delve into your workout if you have the workout clothes set out the night before. It reminds me of the saying, “There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.” But then again, with rain forecast for Wednesday; you’re on your own but do in garage or under any overhang out of the rain..
11/17/20 TUESDAY. TEMPO. You’ll get in your 1.5 mile easy then do: 1 x 20 minute steady pace at a “comfortably stressed pace”; equivalent to a distance of a 5K or so.
11/18/20 WEDNESDAY. STRENGTH DAY. This one will be on your own at home; no workout in my front yard this week due to rain. I have posted the “regular” workout, and add an at home workout with fewer exercises.
