Good day. Did not get started until pretty late, 630pm. The weather was unusually nice which was very cool. Started with various bar hangs to try and stretch out the lats, decompress the back, get the biceps a little stretched out too. Felt good.
Switched things up a bit this time and went with 3 minute running intervals, a total of 5 sets, which ended up being 30 minutes of running.
Run 3 minutes, SL DLs 5/5, run 3 minutes, pullups 5, pushups 5
x 5
30 minutes running, 25 SL DLs per leg, 25 pullups, 25 pushups
That is the sweet spot I think for me as it gets in about 3 miles, which is perfectly fine, and a shorter interval like 3 minutes allows for a bit more of a sprint. I might even drop it to 2 minute intervals and see how that goes. I think that would actually be pretty hard. This is the strongest I have felt running in a long, long time. My stride feels so much more powerful, really getting the glutes, hamstrings involved and it is taking a lot of pressure off of the feet and ankles I think to have a more powerful stride. Strides are longer too. I think the squatting work lately has been really, really helpful too and definitely want to keep exploring the squat and improving and strengthening it. I have noticed a little bit of size in the legs as well but not too much.
