I am working with Mehdi of Stronglifts to help with learning how to lift properly, eat sensibly, and learn continuously. All of this is essential to future tri work. At least I think it is. After one day of stretching and lifting I can already tell the difference in my running. It is a little more “open” in the hips. But, ladies and gentlemen, I am sore. I am sore from the body work, I am sore from the almost negligible weights I am lifting, and I am sore from the “soft tissue” work that marks Mehdi’s approach. The Japanese technique of ‘kaizen’ says that little steps lead the way. This is twenty league leap in a lot of ways, but in other ways it is all very I am committed for a month and I will engage in this experiment for a month.
I have completed my full tilt physical and will get my last test results, the treadmill stress test, on Wednesday. I have the sense that the summer will be a whirlwind. Sigh.
I will do a weigh-in and body fat exam every Friday.
I am tri training three days a week and lifting three. I will probably have to ramp up to four a weeks on the tri. I can’t judge yet based upon lifting schedule.
I am committed to eating more protein and any kind of food that will enable my goals. Except slime eels, I can’t do slime eels.
