and about long runs? less fun?
Oh yes. I'm going to add a long slow hour (or more) run once a week for now.
I just got word tonight that the Arizona State Judo Tournament is February 18th. So, to prepare for that I'm going to do something like the following each week:
-Long run, 1 hour+.
-Circuit training like described above (situps, pushups, dumbells, etc, but maybe up to an hour).
-Hills run. Hard hills for 30 minutes to an hour.
-Weight room circuit. Lighter weights, higher reps. Wide Variety.
-Cross country run with hills, sprints, and slow parts. 30 minutes to an hour.
Plus judo 3 x a week.
Also, of course I'll slow things way down the week before the event.
After the tournament I'll switch to lots of long slow runs, and strength training in the weight room...until the next tournament (I think in July), at which point it'll be back to the stuff like above for the month leading up to the event.
It's also pretty much no beer (rats!) from here to the Feb tourney, and a strict diet (seriously boys). I want to get to around 165 - 169lbs.
I'll be posting bf% and weight from now to the tourney.
If I start now, I'll peak just right for the State event.
