1/11/14 Saturday January 11, 2014 (4 mile interval run / pull-ups)

Second week of interval running, timed 10 minute run (about 1 mile for me), 5 strict pull-ups on rings, repeat 3 more times for a total of 40 minutes (4 miles) and 20 pull-ups.  A few observations.  Last week I ran on Sunday and had one extra day of recovery compared with today as I did a pretty hard TGU / 24kg snatch training session yesterday.  Today I was playing with my kids and also went bowling so when embarking on the first set of pull-ups I noticed I was a bit tired and my R forearm was pretty tight (the bowling).  Nothing too dramatic, just something I noticed.  I focused on really strict form on all pull-ups and though the final rep on the last 3 sets was a little tougher than the previous 4 reps, I didn't feel like I was pushing up to failure, had plenty in the tank.  So mission accomplished.  As for the running I did not feel my glutes as much as I have lately, not sure why, but my feet and ankles felt better than last week.  It was an odd run because it has poured rain today so I was actually dodging all over the place avoiding puddles, so not a "linear" run at all.  All I all I thought this was good and I am liking this kind of training quite a bit. It will be nice to have Sunday to rest before Monday's kettlebell work as I am going to be trying to push some sets of 5 on the seesaw press, and I really want to be fresh for that.
