Re: The Nooner's Training Log
For some reason my body wasn't up for the run today. Run turned into a jog, then a 2 mile walk. **shrug** didn't get much sleep last night and I had to get up two hours earlier than usual so I kinda blame that. Strength: 3x7 handstand pushups w/15 lb vest. I do these on cinderblocks now so I can get...

Re: The Nooner's Training Log
Yeah, sleeping's always been a challenge for me, I am a SERIOUS insomniac and have been for literally all my life, going back to infancy. Something that I've found actually really helps a lot is, somewhat counter-intuitively, taking a nap around 2 in the afternoon. Not a long nap, 40 minutes, max, a...

Cardio and strength continue to improve, as well as overall general body ...

Re: The Nooner's Training Log
Managed to squeeze in a workout today. Started with a 3.5 mile sprint/walk. Did tabata interval sprints until I felt like I was gonna keel over, then jogged and walked the rest of the way. I think I got seven intervals in(intervals, not sets, hahaha). It was snowing pretty hard and it was beautiful ...

Yeah, the routine gets monotonous sometimes. I try to mix it up a bit while still sticking to core tenets, like the weighted push/pull basics.

Just ran through my hand and weapons katas today, along with some jumping jacks. I started doing hill sprints, but the mud from the snow melt combined with my vertigo made for a pretty risky workout environment, heh. Tomorrow's full-on cardio and strength.

Hill sprints will do wonders. Find a good sized, steep hill(doesn't have to be very long), and just sprint up it repeatedly. Run up, jog back down. The jog down is your rest, as soon as you hit the bottom you about-face and sprint back up again. Set up a target at the top that you have to reach ever...

Best lookout, ideally, is an overgrown hillside/ridge with underbrush but few trees. You keep low, and near the top but not actually at it. That way you get the height but not the horizon disruption. You can take the same approach with buildings - park yourself on the fire escape just below the roof...
