The love has returned for long cycle and GS in general. A set of long cycle followed by pushups or pullups with lunges and an ab movement thrown in (or not as they are worked quite well from all of the above) and I'm done and ready for my run. The clubbell work is thrown in purely for the enjoyment of swinging the clubs and will be cycled in and out of my workouts as suited. Long stes of long cycle will be few however except for the occasional 10 minut set with the lighter weights (16kgs) and maybe a monthly "gut check" with the 20's. My main goal is to bring my trength back up with sorter, heavier sets, eventually getting comfortable with the 24's again and maybe even a set or two with the 28's - something I haven't done for well over a year. It was kettlbell sport work - the AKC (American Kettlebell Club) basic template that allowed me to make a fairly easy trnsition into ultra running and I feel the "moneyset" principle (one main set for time of jerk, long cycle or snatch) serves a very workable program for runers who can't afford to spen to much time outside of road or trail work and doesn't beat up the body and impair recovery (working with the 32kg's may prove otherwise)Anyway it worked very well for me and I hope to return to it and again reap similair benifits. The key is to not allow myself to be side tracked with all of the other fun stuff that doesn't really serve a purpose other than feed my training ADD.
Thanks for reading!
