Notes on lifting:
I've been stuck at 260 for two days but I'm convinced it's due to my recovery. I started doing power cleans again. Pretty sure I will be deloading everything across the board. When I do, I will switch to low bar back squat, in addition to buying shoes and a belt.
In other news, I recently signed up for the GoRuck Challenge in Chicago at the end of March. You may have read about it on 70sbig. The challenge is done in a group and lasts about 10 hours, starting at 10PM. I think we'll cover about 15 miles around Chicago, carrying 4 bricks, water and food in our packs while doing different activities like partner carries, bear crawls, and other random stuff. I hope to train for this over the next few months by doing the following: strength training, running, crossfit and rucking. 70sbig has a post (here) with some advice on how to train as a lifter -- I hope to follow that as much as I can.
I started doing some light running last week and aim to ramp up over the next 3 months. In order to get used to running outside in the cold, I bought winter running gear yesterday and tested it out today. Felt pretty good to run outside. I will start doing CrossFit once or twice a week towards the end of Jan.
what is crossfit? i'm not familiar with this term.
