Goodmorning everyone!
It is currently 10AM over here in Texas, and just wanted to log my endurance training for the day. Sorry it took 10 days to get in my second session. Training and programming has been crazy this past week. I usually train Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I had a photo-shoot booked for the 26th and 27th (Friday and Saturday), so after the previous week of Saturday and Sunday training, I had to cram in the next week into the four consecutive days of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Yesterday I got in some recovery and light back work. Honestly, I hit a PR on banded dead lifts before I did my recovery work. I had pulled 405lb on the bar, making the band tension total to 685-725 poundage at the top of the movement. I successfully locked out the weight, with possibly the potential to pull 20-30lb heavier, but not after that specific set. Maybe another day?
Today seemed to be the struggle. Along with not favorable weather, I felt tired and drained leading up to my jog. I am still determined to improve on my time and distance traveled, but the main goal is to improve my cardiovascular health overall. With a runny nose, the jog seemed to be even worse. Along with that, my eyes kept watering, probably just not use to running in this weather/temperature. Well, or running at all, lol.
I ended up jogging for only 5 minutes and 30 seconds straight, without stopping. After such, I spent about 5 to 6 minutes to walk back home from where I had ended up. Distance covered is still unknown. I just jog around town till my legs, shins, or cardiovascular system can't keep up (which doesn't take long).
I am now about to get ready for class and eat something... Currently sipping on my MTS Machine Fuel BCAA blend, which helps me recover for tomorrow's full body push weight session.
The plan is to hit 335lb on front squat for 1+ (AMRAP) reps, then hit 305-315lb on narrow pause press incline for 1+ (AMRAP) reps. I will log my training as well from time to time.

Day 2

Time of Day: Midday 9:30AM
Duration till fatigue: 5:30 minutes
Location: Around town, on pavement/gravel streets
Thoughts: My breathing and cardiovascular system could keep up with the training, but my shins could not withstand the impact that the force of my body was projecting onto the hard gravel surface of the road. It was also very foggy, and misting, so along with poor breathing in the cold, my back was tight and aching half way through the run.

Issues in muscle fatigue/joint ache: Shins began to fatigue about four to five minutes in. Began to flat foot every step as shins and calves fatigued. Tightness in calves/shins. Back was tightening up and in pain. Felt the fatigue from the previous week build up.
