Get Negative

Feeling good after the heavy work yesterday. Went to the 9am.

Warm-up

2 Rounds

  • 1:00 Row (no foot straps)
  • 100/100′ Single Arm Overhead Walk (44#)
  • 15 Hand Release Push-ups

Conditioning

2x

  • 1,200m Row
  • Rest while partner goes

The goal was negative 400 meter splits based on a 2k time. I’ve been basing mine off 7:00 (1:45/500m), so today I was supposed to do the first 400 meters @ 1:47/500m, then 1:45, and finally 1:43 for the final 400. The middle chunk of each row was definitely the hardest to keep a steady pace. I was pretty close to my targets and actually averaged just under 1:45 overall for both of my intervals. I did a 4:11.7 and 4:11.4. That second one really sucked.

Strength

  • 10 Bench Press (45#)
  • 5 Bench Press (95#)
  • 5 Bench Press (135#)
  • 2 Bench Press (175#)
  • 2 Bench Press (205#)
  • 5 Sets
    • 2 Bench Press (225#)
    • 10 Ring Rows

The benching wasn’t easy, but I made it, so I guess I picked the right weight. Ring rows are getting easier than they ever have been.

Skill

Worked on my handstand walking for 15-20 minutes again. I’m able to start making some corrections if I stall or start to lose balance. Still did walks up to the wall, but I’m getting a lot more comfortable with them.
