Plugging away

Mon:
Took a rest day on Sunday as my plantar was a little sore after going long on Saturday. Tried to get out a little early with Tom but we obviously missed each other, bumped into Tom and the rest of the HuRT squad a little later and ended up running 65 mins all up..with the plantar flaring up, I am spending the evening on the golf ball and foam roller.
Tues
Met up with Big Bear for a session with PT Grant. The session focused on core with some added power exercises.
15 hamstring curls on the swiss ball (single leg)
15 jacknifes on the swiss ball
20 hand to elbow on the swiss ball
1 min plank on the swiss ball
1 hand pull up on the TRX (by 6)
4 sets with 1 min recovery

Power Squats (1 mins, reducing the height of the bench)
15 push ups
15 power presses (each arm)
Triceps on the TRX
4 sets with 1 min recovery

Probably and easier session than last week but the power squats were tough and I could really feel it in the legs. No whining from the bear this week but he is concerned about his % of body fat...he thinks it 12% but we all know it's closer to 20!

At lunch got out with the HuRT squad for 6 by 5 mins, the guys were doing 8. Ran with Enda for 4 of them (he arrived late). Kept the pace consistent for each rep (3.27 - 3.30 km/m). Legs were tired after this mornings session so happy to get through it relatively unscathed. Tom, Charlie, Rich High, Barletts and B grade Binfield were pushing the pace at the front. No sign of Timmy but apparently he was seen training with TB on the oval this morning...High was flying Timmy...just in case you are wondering auld Timmy..
