19MY070730

Run/Hike/Run

Ran to 1760, edge of South Mountain Park
actually ran the first leg of the foothill (brutal)

and hiked the rest of the hill.

Jogged the backside as much as safety would allow
and had a nice open gate on the flat through the arroyo all the way home

By my map I calculate this trip is 4.8 miles... elevation is 520 total rise
took me about an 65min total

need work!

need work on the uphill run... body temps were OK...
Not craving fluid...

I have a north-south Rim-to-Rim Grand Canyon Hike
Coming next weekend...

I am already prepped for this, and it is a vacation, so
there won't be much fuss about it...

I will probably only have one leg WO for this week (thinking monday)

Other than that it should be all cardio and grinding incline work

I will post upper body junk done in the gym this week
I doubt anyone will be impressed

I want your help for the 10k
I liked all the stuff you were preaching to me earlier

I haven't run a race over 5k in 10 years...

One night or day per week at your place of worship should do me
Too much LTF has made me soft... I've found resilience on the mountain

PM me data on your schedule

20MY070715

Run/Hike/Run

Desert Classic, Corona De Loma Round trip

1380 TH - 1620, 1.7 mi 240ft = 20min

1620 - 2400 Rockpile overlook, 1.0mi 780ft = 26min (this is pretty tough section)
(sun was hot early, body temps high, lost fluid)

Soaked in the view of Ahwatukee from top of "2400" for a few min...

Back to TH:

2400-1380 TH, 2.7mi = 32min?

These times seem messed up...
I'm going to look into buying a watch w/altimeter and tripmeter/clock

Good WO overall, ran 75% of the route, no stopping, no liquid

this was last WO before Hike so I kind of just went all out on variuos junk
I took it easy on the lifts though.. Didn't want to jeopardize a pull or something before my hike...

There was a young guy in there doing push presses
so I thought I would hit some real exercises -

I found out a trainer I know was working w/him
so I asked him if he wanted me to show him the proper way to
train his clients to do these motions -

Al-in-all good WO, I will be satisfied till next week

Gut check!

I'm not going to progress or go all out with them
I hadn't even planned on doing any today...

But the stamina is up from running and this last WO was a blowout
and some fat BB's were trying to OHS, so I stepped in and represented

You feel me?
