Today was a leg busting double workout. I felt pretty good in the morning, but the evening workout was tough. My legs had really tightened up on me. I jumped off the normal diet in the evening. I had a free coupon for a Flat Top Grill stir-fry. Who am I to say no? I definitely enjoyed it, as well as a Fat Tire brew. Even after the debacle that was my dinner, my calorie intake and ratios were still decent.
The weather has been pretty crappy for the past couple of days. How am I suppose to get in high quality triathlon training with all this rain?
AM Workout
Today was good old Plyo Legs from Tony’s 1-on-1 series. One hour of all legs. I skipped the pull-ups I usually mix in with this workout. With all the triathlon specific workouts I am going to be doing, I need to start cutting back on the strength routines and more importantly the intensity I usually go at.
The workout was great. I was sweating bullets about 5 minutes into the routine. This is really a “must have” workout in my opinion. You really hit every are of the legs. You will definitely hear me talking about how sore I am tomorrow.
PM Workout
3 miles of hill intervals. I was going to go the full half hour, but my legs were very tight and my calves even tighter. I didn’t want to push myself so far that I end up with an injury that could have been prevented. Sometimes it’s the quality, not the quantity of the workout.
It was still a high quality workout. In 24 minutes, I burnt over 400 calories. My max climbs were at an incline of 7.8.
