Total - 10:08:00


How to achieve world class fitness!!

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Run, Jeff, Run

Today was a short workout day. After yesterday my legs were very glad about it. I had to work this afternoon and evening so I didn't have time for a crossfit workout. But not to worry I'm only trying to do 4-5 crossfit workouts a week and 6 crossfit endurance workouts. I did make time for some speed work today. Now there is still ice and snow everywhere right now so I very reluctantly ran on a treadmill. Just for the record I HATE treadmills more than bike trainers.

Today I did 6 x 400m sprints at all out pace. I started out slower than necessary but I had it dialed in for the last 3 runs. Here are the results:

400m - 1:36
400m - 1:28
400m - 1:24
400m - 1:15
400m - 1:15
400m - 1:15

Here is my diet today. For breakfast I had 3 eggs with habanero cheese, 3 slices of bacon and 12 almonds. I also had my normal caramel macchiato on the way to work. Lunch was a small ceasar chicken salad and one Larabar. Dinner was a tuna steak, broccoli with cheese and 12 almonds. On my drive home tonight I had an apple.

Life is good!
