ReplyDeleteWhen spammers attack.
ReplyDeleteThis morning was a little bit of a mixed bag.
Found it very hard to get up for this one mentally this morning. Dark , cold, wet and icy--sounds like perfect running conditions, I know. Call me crazy. I was thnking of you the whole time Joel!
Mile 1: 6:58.43 (PR I think)
AMRAP DUs: 2 sets
Mile 2: 7:48.00 (Bonked and tried to hold on to the 60% effort)
DU Interval: 20 in first 4 sets, just missed in last two. Gassed completely.
Mile 3: 10:34.23
Took me forever to warm up fully and got gassed fairly quickly during the wod, although heart rate didn't feel super elevated. Recovery seemed quick after run. I don't know how to interpret this. Anyway, have a great day dawgs! ARRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Hey Dawgs-
ReplyDeleteI am departing from the Big Dawg WODs for now; I am going to be doing an individualized program from James. (though this WOD would be fun to do in the storm outside) However, I'll be checking the blog regularly, hopefully offering some Paleo and cooking tips, etc.
Good training everyone!
1st Du: 9 sets
ReplyDelete2nd Du: straight thru
Runs are improving, form feels better. First run was 6:38, Second was 7:28, and 8min cool down mile. 2nd mile was a struggle to keep the intensity where I wanted it in the second and third 400m.
each set of 20 du's was under 15sec.
-i have been "crossfitting" for the past 8 months, and today was the first time i actually attempted double unders in a workout... and i finally did some double unders!!
ReplyDeletemile #1= 6:45
1st DU'S= 6... not sets, but 6 double unders! haha
mile #2= 6:57
2nd DU'S= 32 (pr!)
mile #3= 8:34
- i felt pretty sluggish on all the runs, legs were tired from yesterday....but im pretty pumped!!! FINALLY got some double unders!! they were all broken, but ill take em!! this is a big step for me!!
Ryan B.
run 1 - 6:14
ReplyDelete8 sets of 30 unbroken
run 2 - 6:54
completed all 6 sets of 20.
couldn't maintain 90% in either run for a full 400m. these tempo runs are brutal.
Run 1 6:47
ReplyDelete6 sets of 30 DU's
Run 2 7:13
As Rx'd (they were ugly though)
Run 3 8:00
Started too fast in Run 1. Run 2 was the correct pace for 90%,80%,70%,60%. Shoulders and calves are absolutely donzo.
Ryan B.,
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!
Power/hang power snatch for warm up.
It started to snow & blow just prior to starting, so I opted to use the threadmill.
2 incline, 1st mile 6:15, last time on road 6:25
7 rds DUs, the same as last time, stumbled on 7th rd @ 15
Gased @ 800m. Did the DUs & stopped.
Awesome WOD!
ReplyDeleteLagging behind. Only had time for #2 yesterday, so did #1 from yesterday today:
Front squats: 90kg, 90kg, 90kg, 95kg, 95kg
Pullups (on rings): 28, 25, 20, 20, 20
Hmm. Did 3x95 on the last OPT3, so this was not what I expected. Might be a bit sick from that flu shot.
Gonna try running tomorrow!
Thanks alot rwcorson!! i actually used your advice, "single,single, double" now im going to be working on stringing them together!
ReplyDelete-since ive started opt wods, ive done multiple dips in a row for the first time, kipping pullups for the first time, semi ROM HSPU, and finally achieved a few DU'S!! now, im pretty good at dips and pullups and im getting better at everything every single day!! and im still getting much leaner and much stronger all at the same time!! James is a miracle worker!!
"Know pain, Know gain"
-(my favorite quote of all time)
Thanks again James

ReplyDelete5:24- 1:26, 1:23. 1:19, 1:16

30 sec interval DUs:
all unbroken, all around 11 or 12 sec
mile 3:
7:31 - recovered, focused on form
Slept like crap last night feel like crap today - am taking a rest day. Hit this tomorrow if i am feeling better. Have a great weekend everyone.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Ryan!!!
I ran 800m in my warmup and i could feel my right knee was inflamed so i opted out of the running but still wanted to gas myself since my running isnt strong... sooo...
ReplyDeleteRow sprint 500m = 1:28 (tied pr)
Rest 3 min
DU- 5 rds unbroken in 4 min (legs were gone)
Rest 3 min
Row sprint 500m = 1:35
DU- all sets completed and easy
Row 1k cooldown
Mile 1 (did 200 meter turn arounds)
ReplyDeletemy times were suppose to look like this - 1:24/1:18/1:16/1:12
So for mile one I started off on the right pace but I couldn't seem to get myself to go any faster I actually think I went slower...first mile 6:12
As many sets in 4 minutes: 8 (had 15 done when timer went)
2nd mile = 6:41 same problem couldn't seem to go any faster then about 75%-80% but I can maintain that pace forever no problem
6 x 30 unbroken/easy/fast
Did 1/2 mile cool down at 4:49 - Bunions began to become irritated so I stopped
Did runs on the treadmill at OPT
ReplyDeleterun 1 - 7:05
4 sets of du in 4min (was jumping way too high so fatigued quickly)
run 2 -7:05
5 of 6 set were successful (got the jump height dialed in a little better)
run 3- 8:20
Great times so far everyone!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty disappointed all the way around today. Clearly I have no concept of my running abilities which are mediocre at best. Overall times were not completely aweful but splits were all over the place. Split times were probably ok but were in the wrong order.
4 min DU- PR is 11 in a row so just tried for amrap in 4 min, got 76 which is disappointing, couldn't even find the "Lindsey" groove of 5 in a row
6x 30" DU- 15/17/17/10/12/16 - again having trouble getting a groove
Glad tomorrow is a rest day so I can get my mind right and butt in gear for Sunday
Run 1 6:48
ReplyDeleteI got rid of the middle school PE rope and got a rope for double unders. Big difference a rope makes!!
DU's No sets but 17 unbroken
Run 2 7:09
DU's No sets but 13 unbroken
Run 3 8:34
Putting DU's into my warmup.
That was uncomfortable...
ReplyDeleteRun 1- Had a hard time picking it up to that 90%level. Time 6:50
Double unders- 6 full rounds.
Run 2- Hit my 90% pretty easy, fell short on my 80%, 70% and 60% were in line. Time 6:44
Double unders- 6 full sets. Worked on going faster with the rope. Shoulders were burning.
Run 3- Didn't time it but form felt pretty good
Oh yeah, I hit a PR on a box jump with my warm up today. 50 inches
ReplyDelete1st Set of DUs: 5 unbroken and 29 reps
ReplyDelete2nd Set of DUs: Got all 6 sets...first 4 unbroken
I am a horrible judge of intensity/pace when it comes to my running. I went out way too fast on the first one and payed dearly for it for the remainder of the training. I really need to work on this.
Interestingly enough, my right knee began to act up again today during the runs. Has felt good for several days in a row, but the runs really seem to put some stress on it.
PWO: 30gP (MRM shake), 20gC (mashed sweet potatoes w/ cinnamon)
45 min later: chicken/apple sausage, apple, almond butter
Guys, got to sit out on this one. I've caught something and head is throbbing beyond belief. Hopefully I'll rebound quickly.
ReplyDeletefeel better, Brent
ReplyDelete1st mile: 6:14
ReplyDelete400m splits were at 1:45, 3:02, 4:45, 6:35
Only 2 sets of 30 unbroken. I failed at 29, 29, and 27 throughout. So frustrating.
2nd mile: 6:35
Splits: 1:20, 3:02, 4:45, 6:35
Failed on the 2nd and 6th interval. All others were unbroken.
Last mile was 9:34.
I think I could've pushed myself on the the run more, but I was trying to focus on keeping my splits even on their respective percentages. Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. It has been a busy week.
1)6:43
ReplyDelete2)1 rnd sad

4)6
5)8:14
Mile 1: 6:05...last time 6:07
ReplyDeletePacing was pretty good.
DU's: 6 rounds unbroken. Broke 1 at 28. Last time 5 rounds complete, 1 broken at 28.
Mile 2: 6:24...last time 6:27
90% was good and I hit a wall after that fell below 80 for a bit and tried to make up a little, but it didn't go so well.
DU's on 30 sec timer 6 sets all unbroken.
Cool down mile 7:11 going comfortably. Last time 7:08
All runs same course as last time with 200m turnarounds. The distances are as accurate as I can figure with use of car/mapmyrun and pacing with measured steps. The improvement, however small feels great. The similarities are pretty amazing to me.
Feel better Brent! No ice for me, David, but I did get caught in a rain flurry. In the 40's here.
1st mile 6:03
ReplyDeletedu - 8 sets + one broken at 15

ReplyDeleteDU1 - 2 sets

ReplyDeleteDU's: 6 Sets plus 26
Run2: 6:22
DU's: UB
Run3: 7:00
Felt much slower today than the last time we did this. Yesterday took a lot out of me. Forearm's were screaming from jump.
Mile 1: 6:27
ReplyDelete30 D.U.: 4 sets (twice broke at 24)
Mile 2: 7:02
20 D.U.: 6 sets (5 unbroken) and easy
Mile 1 was a PR. Wasn't particularly trying for one but I'll take it.
Big hill through the 800m-1200m span made it very hard to pace properly. The 80 of the second mile was more like a 60 and then was able to pick it back up.
First run: 6:17
ReplyDelete30 unbroken DUs in 4 mins: 4
Second run: 6:24
20 DUs/30sec: yes
Second run was hard. Had to use threadmill.
Fri night @ Eau Claire Y indoor track; 11.2 laps outside lane = 1 mile
ReplyDelete1st mile; 6:05 seemed too fast (miscounted laps? Usually do this outside @ OPT so maybe that is slower? Maybe 11.2 laps is inaccurate?)
DUs AMRAP in 4min; 3 (30,f,f,f,30,f,30). Hard floor
2nd mile; 6:07
6x30 DUs 20 rep's; as Rx'd
Cool down mile 6:58
Btw: couldn't do 30 unbroken DUs to save my life 1,5 months ago - now it's not a big problem. Tech still not good, but hey - thanks James!
ReplyDeleteDid yesterday's part 2 in the morning on Friday. 7:29 all unbroken but the swings were really slow. Hard to control the movement.
ReplyDelete5 hours later...
1st DU's 6 sets
2nd DU's 6 sets, broke on the sixth.
Run was interesting outside. Found it hard to pace based on %'s.
first set of dus 4 rounds.
ReplyDeletegot second set straight through.
Yesterdat did the "grace practice" WOD that I misssed and this today... score:
ReplyDelete1st mile: 6:40
did 4 rounds of 30 unbroken and a very angry round of 28 but can't count that.
2nd mile: 7:14
Then did all 6 rnd of 20 in 30 sec intervals.
last mile I just cooled down.
Gotta learn more about tempo, I was just folowing my bliss on it.
on call but snuck out 2 a track 2 get this one in while things were quiet...

~gm2
Ouch running sucks - it really flares my knee and calf but persevered
ReplyDeletemile 1 7:20
7 rounds of DUs all unbroken
mile 2 was easier to go fast and then slow down but my time still sucked 7:32 felt like my first mile 90% was too fast so I slowed it down then i think it was too slow

Have brutal headache and still feel like crap
Mile 1 7:20 pace was little slower then it should of been
ReplyDeleteDU's 4 sets
Mile 2 6:44 was a much better pace
