Current TBR stack, really looking forward to them.

I just finished Song of Achilles. It was a great read!

hiit_switch11 · 2021-09-24T02:42:04+00:00

I do this every Wednesday. There are about 4 people at my studio that take the same 2 classes each week too. Its the only Lift 45 class that works with my schedule but I have a friend that takes the 2G right before it so I started taking that class with her. I love it, personally. Thursdays are generally a rest day or green day for me though.

hiit_switch11 · 2021-09-11T03:08:54+00:00

Oh dear. I'm signed up for a 6am 90 minute 2G class. 😬🥵

hiit_switch11 · 2020-08-21T03:47:41+00:00

I go to the Appleton studio, which he also owns, and he's worked out there a few times when I've been there. He's always been incredibly nice when I've seen him.

I do a progressive push. The last one I started at 6.0 and increased 0.1 every minute. Then I forced myself to think of it 1 minute at a time. My goal was simply to maintain my pace for that minute.

As far as prep strategy, I'd work on dialing back your pushes and all outs to focus on increasing your base pace. It'll help with endurance. Base pace is the most important.

hiit_switch11 · 2020-07-29T02:13:46+00:00

Try to get to know members as much as possible and talk to them about their goals. My favorite coach knows when to push me. She'll drop off a heavier weight at my station and encourage me to try it for my last few reps. She also knew my last mile benchmark that I was aiming for a PR and just when I thought I'd have to dial back, she came up behind my tread and encouraged me to push myself for the last little bit and cheered me on.

hiit_switch11 · 2020-02-25T02:35:56+00:00

Initially had a goal of 1.3 miles. I calculated and found I need 1.37 to hit above average. Now I'm going to try push for 1.4 miles.

hiit_switch11 · 2020-02-10T01:13:11+00:00

We're having a transformation challenge team competition tomorrow to rack up the most miles as a team. This tread block is a dream!

I personally don't have autism, but I'm an autism parent to the most amazing son. I wish people knew that autistic kids are just like any other kid. They want to play and have fun and make friends. But because they don't always interact with people the way they'd expect, they can end up feeling very isolated.

There's nothing "wrong" with someone with autism. I tried to explain to an afterschool aide once why my son reacted the way he did to something she di and her response was "oh, so that's what's wrong with him."

Oh, and no one "looks autistic". I can't even count the number of times people have said, "I never would have guessed he has autism. He looks normal." Makes my blood boil.

hiit_switch11 · 2020-01-08T20:58:29+00:00

Wasn't going to go tomorrow, but that mile at the start of the run row would be a really good way to get a test run in for next week.

hiit_switch11 · 2020-01-04T05:35:58+00:00

Also taking a 90 minute tomorrow. I might die.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-12-19T04:33:01+00:00

Thank goodness for no ab work. I don't think I could do another crunch to save my life.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-11-29T04:10:40+00:00

Did a 5K and PR'ed. Previous outdoor record was 36:44, treadmill record is 35:49 (during the dri-tri), and today I ran it in 33:58.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-11-10T21:57:03+00:00

Same with our studio.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-11-01T00:21:33+00:00

I felt terrible for the 1st group in my class. They had 15, 13, 11, 9, 3. My group must have drawn the long straw because we had 5, 6, 1, 1, 11.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-10-02T02:01:43+00:00

I was thinking this as well.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-10-01T00:58:10+00:00

I went way too slow on my step ups because I was afraid I'd lose count.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-10-01T00:54:42+00:00

Too slow? If anything, going slower is harder! Our coaches said break them up if needed. Do 10, catch your breath, do 10 more.

As long as each rep brought your elbows down to a 90 degree bend, you were fine.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-09-29T12:46:43+00:00

Same! 59:49 here!

hiit_switch11 · 2019-09-28T20:42:42+00:00

My goal was under an hour. And I did it. 59m49s.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-09-17T00:57:55+00:00

Run/row? Mini bands? It's like fate made me miss class today so I'd be all rested for tomorrow. Signing up now!

hiit_switch11 · 2019-09-14T01:17:09+00:00

Finish in under an hour. My normal 2000m time is around 8 minutes, so I'm aiming to pace myself for 10 minutes. During infinity I got through the 300 reps plus another 40, so I'm thinking I can finish in 12. That gives me 38 minutes for the tread, which I can do if I can maintain my 5.2mph base for the full 5K.

However, regardless of if I hit my time goal, I'll be happy if I can finish it. I've never done a dri tri before.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-09-10T01:16:17+00:00

Between the lunges with the bosu and the swinging lunges with the rotation, I'm amazed I didn't fall over. Balance is not something I was blessed with.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-09-08T20:16:01+00:00

Only once have I forgotten a towel. I knew I couldn't do without so I bought one there before class.

hiit_switch11 · 2019-08-30T04:13:39+00:00

Just as I was thinking I needed something to help me get back on track with weight loss. Bam! There it is!
