P90X Day 1 - Chest & Back

Brad Hefta-Gaub — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:49:00 +0000

Ok, I’ve decided to take on P90X, while maintaining my running streak, and getting to my 5,000 mile cycling goal… This will be tough considering all my other commitments. But you gotta start somewhere.

First day… is a doosey! Chest & Back… this is basically 24 sets of pushups, pullups, and other exercises that simulate pushups and/or pullups! This is a killer workout (and since I’m writing this two days later, I can confirm that it killed me!)

Here’s what I was able to accomplish:

Warmup - 2:30
Stretching - 6:30

Set 1:

Standard Push-ups: 30
Wide Front Pull-ups: 10
Military Style Pushups: 22
Reverse Grip Chin-ups: 5

Good Run

Brad Hefta-Gaub — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:21:00 +0000

Couple things… first, I am still recovering from my cold. Still congested. Second, I have been having a lot of problems with my feet, calves, ankles, etc… but today’s run, I took my orthotics out of my shoes and ran on an old pair of my Brooks Defyance (which are probably in better condition than my ‘current’ pair, I had been running on…)

It resulted in a pretty good run!

Splits: 8:01, 7:42, 7:37, 7:26, 7:09, 6:47!

Negative splits, each mile faster, last mile fastest, last mile sub-7min, overall sub-7:30.

Great!

More of a Hike - But it Counts for the Streak

Brad Hefta-Gaub — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:00:00 +0000

The streak rules are not about speed, but more about moving your body with your feet. Running, Jogging, Walking, even Hiking.

Because my feet have been bothering me, and because I was doing a hike with my Daughter and her friends at Y-Guides anyway, I decided to call this my “streak qualifying run”… I think the rest helped a little!

Not that late really…

Brad Hefta-Gaub — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:50:00 +0000

Went for a quick run near Buck Creek while the kids were watching a Movie at Y-Guides Camp. This is the same place that the White River 50 Miler race starts and finishes at. Just a short run to keep the streak alive.

That wasn’t so bad

Brad Hefta-Gaub — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:00:00 +0000

That actually almost seemed fast… the first mile was much faster, I think, but I didn’t have my watch on during the run.
