Simple.
Traiing wise I have a broad interest and short attention span - I see a new (or forgotten) movement of something looks like fun and it seems I have to try it. Nothing wrong with this - unless or until it side tracks you from the main goal of your workout plan. And that's easy to do. My main focus(es) right now are ultra running and keeping my feet (somewhat) wet in the Kettlebell sport pool (GS) and fortunetly I feel the two can co-incide fairly well together - actually I feel that the two can even compliment one another and that has proven to be the case for me in the past. I went off track a bit kettlebell lifting wise last year with the Mafatone low heart training model. Yes, I got (some) positive results from following Phil Mafatone's endurance training outline - but I also lost strength - and in the long run I feel that this has hampered more than helped. I am having a more difficult time gaining my strength (and numbers) back than I would have thought - but than I am not solely dedicated to the sport as I was either. I'll take that compromise as my running is feeling better than ever - due to a very (very) large part in diet that I'll discuss in greater detail in upcoming post. So for now I need to focus on stream-lining my running and not get overly carried away with movements for the sake of movements. I'll still throw in the occasional fun lift or movement (Frogstands) but they'll be less of a focus at this point in time.
Thanks for reading!
