Tough Circuits
February 11th, 2004, by Rich, in Cross Training.

Improved Recovery

My legs are not bad at all after the 14 mile run of 2 dys ago (yay!). More…
Short Circuits
February 6th, 2004, by Rich, in Cross Training.
This seemed like a short session (I think only about 50 minutes of exercise) but it’s good to have a bit of a break - we’ll probably be doing a good distance on the run tomorrow!
Comforable Circuits
February 4th, 2004, by Rich, in Cross Training.
Today’s training was CV focussed, but not in any way a hard day. More…
Hitting Pads
January 29th, 2004, by Rich, in Cross Training.
The hip is feeling better. A Boxercise session will stress it differently to (and less than) a run, so a night of cardio-vascular work it is probably better.
Ouch. 2×1 hour back to back classes, with lots of pad work so my little ticker was pushed a lot.
Cross-Cross-Training
January 22nd, 2004, by Rich, in Cross Training.
Tonight featured an hour of Boxercise, followed by an hour of Volleyball. This worked well because the boxercise rends to be a whole body killer, whereas volleyball works the thights and leg stability muscle groups.
Result: I’m knackered.
Sore hips and Circuits
January 21st, 2004, by Rich, in Cross Training.
My right hip is a little sore after yesterday’s speed work.
It’s possibly also due to a minor wrenching on the last day of boarding: when trying to lift the nose of the board from some deep snow I felt the hip-ball get slightly dislodged from it’s socket - a strange experience.
Circuit training tonight for an hour.
The first cross-training circuit class
January 8th, 2004, by Rich, in Cross Training.
Boxercise: 2×1 hour classes, back to back, focusing on strength and peak heart rate work. Included lots of (weighted) lunges, squats, lunge walks, ski sits, sideways lunges, squat thrusts, burpees & star jumps, so I’ll need 24+ hours to recover before the next run.
