Training 11/27/11 Dragging Tires on the Parkway Wk 3


Sleep: 10:30p-9:30a
Sugar: A few squares of chocolate covered toffee & a chocolate PB malt ball post workout

Training @ 3pm

Run 10 min easy warm up with hip warm up drills. 6 minutes uphill & ~5 back down. 
+
Carry a load on shoulder for 1/2 mile - heavy enough where you cant run with it  Had a sandbag carrier w/50lbs in it & an additional 25lb sandbag w/out a carrier that I lugged around.  Took 6:10 to go up 400m & 5:30 to return.  Had to adjust the sandbags a couple times in each direction. 
+
Drag something fairly heavy for 3 min forward
rest walk 2 min
Drag that same thing for 3 min backwards 
rest walk 2 min x 3
(constant pace, heavy breathing, little blood in legs, grinder efforts)
Used tire w/ 1 25lb sandbag.  Made it significantly farther than last time, but no real metrics on distance.  
+
run 10 min easy cool down
Ran 15 minutes down parkway where Corey picked me up.  Felt really good.  Stride feels stronger each week.  Today it felt like my ass was actually firing while I was running.  Reminded me faintly of when I would race 400m & your ass is just on fire the last 100m only this time it is much more mild & not the lactate burn associated with the end of a 400m.  Perhaps a bad comparison, but that's what I was thinking about while running.
