Revamp: Week 07
Week 07/12 of the fitness Revamp went pretty well. Some minor life issues meant moving Friday’s lift session to Saturday before the No Kings rally. Friday morning while walking a lifestock pen with Soliel, something started buzzing around her, then landed on my lower calf and stung me.
Initially, I assumed a wasp, but by Saturday, the area had swollen, giving me a cankle and causing several dime to penny sized blisters. As a precaution, there was no long run this week. By Sunday even, the swelling had extended to the foot. Out of caution, the upcoming week’s schedule is getting shifted. Unsure how, quite yet.
Tactical Barbell
Lifting this week went pretty well. Skipped pull ups one day because it the gym was busy and the assist was in use. Squats and bench progressed nicely, with 5 sets of 5 reps at 70%. The upcoming week goes to 80% 1RM. After a few weeks off, it’s good feeling the form come back.
Running
Effective VO~2~max has been slowly progressing, breaking 30 according to runalyze. While I assume the number is somewhat abitrary (Suunto says it’s 43), the trend is what’s important.
