Got lazy on the push ups I admit. Did about 40.

My legs weren't that sore from yesterday's squats. Interesting. I suppose that a long, good stretch session clears it up, in addition to cold showers.

I put icy hot on there today anyways just to speed up recovery.

1910-15,15 sec tabata jumping jacks. 8 min
Full stretches.

I definitely run faster indoors. The ground doesn't absorb much energy, there is no wind blowing against you, and the laps go by faster mentally.

Also, doing the sit ups on the soft pad and with the toes anchored makes sit ups so much better on your back. I'm glad for the pad, but will still like a person to hold my feet. I have to use energy to stabilize myself when doing sit ups, which can be used to pump out more reps. My feet shifted around during the sit ups, which cost me a few reps over the course of the workout.

Feeling good overall as well. 3 more weeks of workouts and then peaking. This week is the last week of tabata sprints and the next 2 week workouts are just 3 mile runs and 1.5 mile runs. For the 1.5 mile runs, I will start doing splits on the outdoor track, starting at 2 minutes, which will bring up to a 12 minute mile and chip a few seconds away in ensuing workouts.

Tomorrow, squats. Friday, mountain climbers. Saturday, sit ups. Doing to do AF sit up tabata before 1.5 mile run on Saturday. While that is a lot more than I'll do on test day, I need to see how my body reacts after doing so many sit ups.

Will also use baking soda again. I feel that 1 tbsp is too much, while half is too little. I'm going to use 10ml to see is that the perfect balance.

Going to do the 1.5 mile on ondoor track tomorrow. I'm going to do 1 minute of AF sit ups, then run with a 2 minute, 5 second split per lap, putting me at 12 min and 30 sec. Doing this will let me see how I feel running wise after doing sit ups.

After the run, I will do a crunch tabata since I'm outside and doing situps sucks outside. Also going to use 10ml of baking soda just to see how that middle ground works in terms of performance and how it affects my stomach and bowels.
 
Yesterday:

0930-1 min AF sit ups-43
Warmup walk
1.5 mile time-12 min, 5 sec
3 min walk for cooldown

Crunch tabata. 10/20 sec. 120 min
Leg raises, 20
Flutter kicks, 20
Hanging knee raises, 10

Feel good about the sit ups and the run. The situps were outside, so no cushion to fall back on, so I had to waste energy falling down. I feel that I can easily bang out 5+ more with a nice cushion to land on.

For the run, I was going for 2 min and 5 second splits. My time was better than that, which felt good. Now I know that I can do around a 12 minute outside run. When I do this week's 1.5 mile runs outdoors, I will narrow down the splits to 2 min, and maybe to 1:57 or so.

I'm feeling good with 1 more week of workouts before peaking.

Also, I feel that 10ml baking soda is optimal. I haven't had the watery poop or stomach issues that I've previously had with a higher dosage.

2 more days of exercise then 3 day complete taper.
 
1430-Ultimate frisbee.

1545-10 min stationary bike, stretches.

Tomorrow is final day of exercise. I will do the 1.5 mile run outside, with the goal of 11 min, 30 sec. That will make the splits 1 min, 55 seconds. I will do this with the playlist I will use on PT test day, just to see how my running is effected.

After this, the squat tabata, shower, and 3 days of rest and recovery for Wednesday.
 
1040-5 min walk
1.5 mile run-11 min, 19 sec
My split goals were 1 min, 55 seconds. My actual times blew that away!
15, 15 sec tabata squats. 12 min
Stretches.

Fastest time on the outdoor track ever! Feels good to be done, now it is just Wednesday and I can get this PT test out of the way. 3 days of no exercise, rest, and recovery. Going to take it easy next few days, and shave my head partially on Tuesday night, and everything else on Wednesday morning right before. Can't wait, aiming for my best time ever.

I feel that with a pacer to pace and block the wind, combined with my shaved head, I should be able to get time in the 10s.
