good 400m repeats
Today was a rest day, so I did 400 meter repeats w 60–90 second rests at Rice. Then I came home and did a couple sets of (assisted) pull-ups. Because I suck at pull-ups.

Workout #2 for the day: a modified "Annie" (which sounds like more of a transgender thing than a CrossFit workout)

Man, you guys are awesome. I've been looking up how to best do the "rack" bar positioning; I think my wrist inflexibility (thank you, broken wrist in 1998 and 2 decades spent in front of a computer) is going to be an issue, but not insurmountable.
Nik, thanks again. You are a star.5 months ago • Like

I think I've lost some baggage—my run included a small walk at around the 2.5 mile mark, and I still clocked a quicker overall pace than I've been doing.
Thank you, eating right.

Workout today: 1 mile as fast as I can. Any advice? I'm thinking of shooting for negative 400s so I don't start off too fast. (I am so not fast, by the way.)

I have no advice because I'd probably just try to sprint the whole thing, but I'm curious about how your method worked.

I had to skip it—my guts were not cooperating. TMI? Probably. Good times.

Sorry the guts didn't work with you. Next time maybe something less formal, like farleks, so that you can be more in tune with how long you can keep speed, when you need to slow down, etc. You might surprise yourself and be able to do more than a high speed 400 or not feel bad if you start to get too tired on the last 400.

Hopefully this workout comes up again in my schedule. If not I'll wriggle it in. I'd like to try the negative 400s, see how that goes, then maybe the fartlek idea, too. One of the WODs has you do 400s, and I tried going all out on the first one—kicked my butt.

Fun WOD. I'm working on deadlift form. Apparently I don't use my lats enough. Can't do DUs either, which is really annoying.
