The Shark is in the Building

Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is Hov!

What's really good Team Diesel?!

I heard the word 'marathon', so I figured it was time for me to get in the mix on this blog joint. Since ya'll are already taking care of the 'how to get swole' posts, I'll speak on endurance, mental toughness, and how to get extra cut up. So let's start with today's workout.

The word of the day is brick.

A brick is an endurance session consisting of cycling, followed by running. It basically feels like doing 6 sets of squats and/or leg extensions and then going for a really hard run. Today's brick was a bit different than what I've done in the past and I'm sure that I'll still feel it in the morning. Our coach had us perform the following: 20 minutes biking at race pace then 10 minutes of running, also at race pace, and then repeat twice. After an hour and a half of good ole' cardio, my legs felt like lead, but I'm sure it'll pay off in April when we head to Collegiate Nationals in Tuscaloosa. Woohoo!

Next on my plate is the Wacky 5K tommorow morning and then an easy week of training. Well and I guess I should also mention the stress of grad school. That's always on the menu.

Hollahollaholllaholllahollla,
