Too much

Well I've only been able to get in 2 workouts this week.

I ran on Monday
Strength trained Tuesday. That's where it went kinda bad.

I did way too much. I was shaking for like 30 minutes after I was done. Because it was a total body workout I have been sore all over since then, but my legs are just obliterated. It's been difficult to walk!

With this I have learned a very important lesson.

I shouldn't be trying to exhaust myself. Shouldn't be working so hard that I have no energy left at the end. That is not efficient. And now it's left me so I can't really do anything for 3 days. Also not efficient. I can't continue to train that way, I won't ever accomplish anything.


I have learned that I should feel "pumped", not exhausted at the end of my workout. Instead of trying to do too much too soon, I need to focus on a few movements and repeat them for a few weeks. Focus on good form and not rushing through them. Master those movements.THEN change it up. That's the only way I will learn and get good at this.


I swear one day I will be good at strength training ... lol!

Tomorrow I should be better and will do 1 of 2 things - either hill running or the obstacle course on the base.
