Thursday 9 Aug 12

Morning:  Arlington

Row 5K

22.48.0

Notes:  First time experimenting with a true recovery row.  I kept it at a very comfortable pace -- approximately 2.15/500 meters at 17 strokes/minute.  Goal was threefold:  (1) recover the legs; (2) build aerobic base; and (3) increase volume on the rowing machine.  I'll use this as a baseline for my 5K rows going forward.  Goal for next session will be to keep pace below 2.10/500 meters with a slightly higher stroke rate.

Evening:  CFDC

4 x 3 hang clusters + 3 broad jumps

115, 135, 145, 155

Metcon:  Complete 2 rounds of:

Row 90 seconds for calories
Rest 90 seconds
AMRAP in 90 seconds of 10 kettlebell swings (24kg) and 10 Ab-mat sit-ups
Rest 90 seconds

100 Push-ups Program (Week 1; Workout 2) 10-12-8-8-12+

Notes:  Not a great session, but I got the work in.  Not a huge fan of using clusters as an actual strength workout, but it was good to practice hand/elbow positioning coming out of the hole and transitioning to the pressing portion.  I can't remember the last time we used the rowing machines, but, of course, rowing gets programmed on the day I experiment with a 5K recovery row in the morning.  I was able to complete two rounds during each round of the swing/sit-up portion.  Hit 15 reps on my last set of push-ups.
