Ran 3 miles in 27:09.....:( I was kind of disappointed with this performance. I started out strong but peetered out around 2.5 miles. I chalk it up to lack of running of late.

I spent 10 minutes or so working on hang cleans. I watched a really informative video that showed the progression of the lift, and ways to better yourself. I need to get back to basics and practice more often.

This was, by far, the toughest week on the Russian squat program!!! I cruised thru the first 3 rds but it took a lot to get thru the remaining two.

I heard that the program was difficult to finish, so I'll find out.....

Well, today was tougher than expected. I struggled the other day with my sets, and today was no different.
I got thru one set with 315# but have to drop 15# after the second....I got stuck in the hole and couldn't get out!!:yikes: It was pretty smooth sailing after that. I'll have to adjust my weights accordingly next week.
