3/15/14 Saturday March 15, 2014 (interval running / pull-ups / push ups)

Good day.  Did not get started until pretty late, 630pm, and it was raining.  Finished up in the dark, but it felt good to get the work done on Sat to allow for a long sleep Sat night and more recovery Sunday.  Body is certainly feeling a lot better one week later, some of the hanging done each day to help stretch out the lats and decompress the spine is really helping  I think.  Lockout position overhead on the L side is noticeably more comfortable than a week ago.  Noticed some stiffness the last couple of days on my R side low neck / upper lat which is an old problem area.  Things keep bouncing around I guess but bottom line have to just keep working on mobility consistently.

I continued again with the interval work in a ladder format this week.  Did a 2 minute warm up followed by 2 pull-ups and 2 push-ups, then did the following:

I also decided to mix up the interval work.  I actually did the following:

3 minutes running,  body weight SL DLs 3/3, 3 minutes running, 3 pull ups, 3 push-ups
4... 4/4.... 4, 4, 4
5...5/5.... 5, 5, 5
4...4/4.... 4, 4, 4
3....3/3....3, 3, 3

Total running time was 38 minutes, with 19 SL DLs each side, 21 pull ups, 21 push ups. I dropped this down just a bit from last week, didn't feel the need to do quite as much work today, keeping things between 30 and 40 minutes of running is just fine.
