Breakdown/Race Update

As you know, I just finished up my 100 mile race this weekend at the Outlaw 100. I’m actually feeling pretty good.

My tendon recovery plan worked great and my legs are feeling pretty good after just 4 days. My ankle has a slight impingement, but I’ll fix that when I have access to my bands.

As for the race, I somehow I managed to pull off 2nd place.

Admittedly, mostly through attrition in the -15 degree weather (with wind-chill) and 5-7 inches of snow.

It really goes to show that just showing up and putting in the work is sometimes all it takes.

Key part here is not just showing up, it’s also putting in the work.

And I do that the same way I coach. By building and sustaining habits.

Habits that I’ll continue into my recovery and beyond.

On that note, for the workout today, it is pretty straightforward. The circuit isn’t a timed event, it’s just getting the work done.

I’ll also periodically roll out my legs and use compression bands throughout the day. Eat lots of protein and drink plenty of water.

I would usually have started light weighted squats, but I’m actually still stuck in Arkansas with all of the gnarly weather going on. So, body weight it is.
