Yesterday I did my last week 7 run. I picked up the pace and have paid the price a little bit. My calves don't enjoy the increased pace and my achilles area on my one leg is a little sore. So I will be taking the pace back down for next week and keeping a close eye on it (might actually do some running/walking ones instead of the full 28 minutes of running that is on the slate for next week). But I will see how it goes.
Today's TRX class was sure a sweaty one. 7, 17, felt like 70
varieties of squats were certainly part of the sweat building process. I find it very strange that I actually don't
mind squats in TRX but I just despise them any other time. Guess it is just about how the straps even if
you are holding them lightly (my goal although the grip tightens up for some of
the squat types for sure) just help you to do squats the way a person should do
them.
We also did this killer bit of hamstring work that ended with
me with an actual pool of sweat in that dip spot at the collar bone. Man that was some of the best/worst hamstring
stuff I have done in a long time. They
were definitely crying for mercy.
And in the pantheon of sweat makers let us not forget the
wonderful plank on the partial arc. Oh
as if the first one wasn't hard enough with one foot out then the other. The second round we were rotating our hips
and then did one leg (not me though the rotating was entirely enough for me, so
my plank finished up with both feet on the ground). Oh except I forgot we kind of pushed back and
forth heels back then forward.
Anyway it was a great TRX class and boy it sure seemed to
build a sense of community with all of us because it was great chatting with
people afterwards – just an extra dose of the always friendly environment.
