August Update

I t has been a while since I last updated this blog. I had mentioned I would post pictures from our over distance workouts a few weeks ago, but I had forgot my camera on those days and thus, had no photos.

We just finished a pretty intense volume block- it actually finishes tomorrow. It has been an interesting few weeks to say the least. We started off with some bigger days and then mixed in some max strength which was interesting. As I’ve said before I haven’t really been on a periodized weight program, so I am always slightly on the hesitant side when we are in the gym. Unless of course it involves a form of shape magazine core! I got to test out my new found pipes (yes, I have some bumps in the region of biceps!) on the uphill double pole test and managed to smash my own record by over a minute. Again, it’s pretty sweet to improve, but I must say I was pretty blown away when the results were in. We were on the same skis as in May, and the pavement was definitely warmer so that played a factor for sure, but overall I am pretty happy with that improvement.
