tuesday and no rest for the wicked

so, mainsite rest day and i had no plan. trolled around to see if anything stood out but was uninspired. grabbed the weight vest and figured i would play with that. kind of make it up on the fly.

treadmill.
started with a 1 mile warm up run that sparked an idea.

run 1 mile
run 1 mile w/40# vest
run 1 mile
run 1 mile w/40# vest
run 1 mile

set the treadmill at 2% incline and a distance pace. basically 8:45 mile. goal was to keep that pace regardless of vest or not.

this was a great workout. the first weighted run was hard and the vest gets a little floppy. had to hold onto it to keep it from bouncing around. the second weighted run seemed a little bit easier, mostly perception i would imagine. knew what i was in for!

foot felt good. little sore after but solid during the run even with the vest. was a little concerned.

i liked this and will definitely be doing variations of this again.

hoping for something heavy on the mainsite tomorrow. maybe cleans? need to work those.
