 | Shooting 3:10:00 [2] | |
| |
| Another coaching session for shooting. Planned to be coached for two hours just the time went by and it ended going this long. Made some adjustments again, but this helped immediately. Did lots of shooting about 250 rounds which is the most I have done in a single session. by the end I could tell I was getting tired but managed to shoot five standing shots that would be in the target. Used some Eley ammo that he had and plus we had the range entirely to us just could hear the high power shooting in the distance. changed the front aperature to yet a different size and this made the shooting better more of the other changes made were subtle. Ended having to eat quick and get to the gym for part 2. |
| Weightlifting 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| A little late to the gym in time for plyos and lifting. I can tell the difference in strength with the left arm that had been holding up the gun for a lot during the morning session. Air conditioning finally repaired in the gym so felt better to lift. Depending on what I do the day before or that AM drives what I can lift at that moment. Some parts much stronger other parts a little tired from an earlier workout. |
| Running 42:00 [1]5.0 mi (8:23 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran in the middle of the afternoon so temps in the low 90's. took a little bit to loosen up since I had just lifted weights but moved well after that. |
| Rowing warm up/down 5:00 [1] | |
| |
| Went on the rower to warm up before lifting. |
Friday Aug 10 |
| Running warm up/down 27:00 [1]3.0 mi (9:00 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran to the CCT to do my threshold training run. Did not want to keep running on the track plus the trail offered something the track does not- SHADE! |
| Running tempo 30:00 [3]4.5 mi (6:40 / mi) | |
| |
| Ran 3 X 1.5 miles in @ 10:00 each. This was rather tough due to the heat in which temperatures are still in the low 90's. Kept hoping the chance for showers would happen ended up with full sun. All of the heat is starting to make me drag some and with all of the training probably could stand to sleep some extra. Jogged around for about 3 mins before going again had to carry my water bottle also which adds about two pounds. Well in 20 days it is going to get much cooler. |
Thursday Aug 9 |
| Running 1:14:00 [1]9.0 mi (8:14 / mi) | |
| |
| Started out with the group and ended up running alone. Somewhat hot at the start and heavy rains soon arrived to cool the temperature. Ran much easier in the rain. |
| Core Training 10:00 [3] | |
| |
| balancing exercises along with other stuff to build some coordination. |
Wednesday Aug 8 |
| Shooting 1:15:00 [1] | |
| |
| Gun starting to feel a lot lighter. All alone at the range just a class on the other range so could hear the gun fire in the distance. |
| Weightlifting 1:30:00 [3] | |
| |
| Spending lots of time in the weightroom since the upper body lifting makes the gun feel lighter. Did some plyos along with leg lifting. |
| Running 34:00 [1]4.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |
| |
| Invited to eat out so can't pass up food. All the more time to run. |
Tuesday Aug 7 |
| Running warm up/down 34:00 [1]4.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |
| |
| ran to the track and back. |
| Running intervals 3:45 [4]1 km (3:45 / km) | |
| |
| Ran 200m in 40 secs and 800m in 305 realized it was too hot ( high 90's) to get a useful workout in. Going to try and run again this eve when temps cool to the low 80's. |
| Shooting 1:20:00 [1] | |
| |
| best practice so far! I recovered from the lifting so my arms were well rested. Shot 120 rounds. Also had the range to myself plus used targets that I made. |
| Running intervals 34:00 [4]4.25 mi (7:59 / mi) | |
| |
| ran 5 x 800 with 400 recovery and 2 X 200. Let some of the heat pass, but still in the high 80's with high humidity. Ran on a track that was on lit by some strret lights so somewhat dark. I was not the only one doing this to beat the heat. Ran the 800's in 304 and 305 and the 200's in 40 and 41. Did this after shooting so ended up being a long day. |
| Running warm up/down 17:00 [1]2.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |
| |
| before the second set. |
Sunday Aug 5 |
| Running 1:25:00 [1]10.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |
| |
| ran about 2/3 of this on trails. |
| Shooting 1:25:00 [1] | |
| |
| all the more time I had to shoot. Ended up shooting 200 rounds some of it too fast. Only shot 40 shots prone doing so well with this needed to emphasize working on the standing part. put 20 rounds through the size of a penny if I do this in competition should get all five targets. Ended up working on pulling the trigger the correct way. You would think something so small like this is insignficant just if you do it the wrong way your shot will be way off! |
