  • General: I'm going to start programming dips once a week in a similar fashion to this because my triceps are very weak compared to other top Crossfitters and having them get stronger will only benefit me. I fixed my press form finally, the work sets were so much easier than they have been. I moved my hands closer together on the bar which was awesome. I want to start walking again a few times a week to help lean out
  • Nutrition: Really good but I unexpectedly went out drinking. Didn't eat shitty food but had beer
  • Body: Everythings pretty sore, abs and legs especially.
  • Sleep: 10 hours
  • Reflections: I want to start programming barefoot runs a few times a week into my programming. My thought process behind this is that it can help make up for my lack of miles by strengthening the little muscles in the lower parts of my legs. I said I was going to do this before and didn't so I'm going to be more diligent this time around. I'm going to post a weekly schedule tomorrow to follow my training. Next week I'm definitely going to hit a run or two to start getting ready for my ultra in a few weeks.
  • Heart Situation: Got my heart checked out on Friday morning, doctor said I'm perfectly healthy. He thinks its a muscle in my heart malfunctioning which is somewhat common and is due to anxiety and stress. He gave me the OK to drink coffee and alcohol in moderation. He thinks the reason I had the heart scare during my 100 mile attempt was because I was putting a lot of stress on my body and my heart reacted to the situation, which is what I was assuming happened. He gave me permission to do my next ultra in a few weeks but he told me I should "not be stupid about it." My hearts been feeling a lot better recently so I think that I should be alright. Doing all the conditioning I did this week made it feel a lot better surprisingly.
