As my priorities change, as my life
and training evolves, as my relations grow, I have decided to make an
effort to try different methods of training styles that those I know
utilize. One thing I had told a good friend of mine, who is currently
at boot camp for the USMC, that when she gets back, I will start
helping her train and start running with her. Running? Such a pain in
the ass I know right? I strength train for Powerlifting, and utilize
high intensity interval training for my conditioning and cardio.
Cardiovascular endurance is by far anything I ever enjoy doing. But
comfort zones are for the weak minded, and I decided to embark on a
minor cardiovascular endurance style journey.
Another reason that has helped
influence myself to start more cardiovascular endurance type of
training, is the fact that I usually retain high blood pressure.
Whether I am at the doctor's office, dentist, or taking my heart rate
at home, I usually fall above the normal rate.
I will begin this training
on my weight training rest days ( Monday, Wednesday, Friday) as mean
of my cardio training. I will simply start a mild jog and continue at
a pace till I feel fatigue has required me to stop and walk. Each
bout will only consist of one attempt to continue a steady pace till
failure, and time the duration as to which I have traveled at a jog.
I will be blogging my attempt dates, duration times, and my
experiences with strength loss, muscle fatigue, resting heart rate
(which will be taken first thing when I wake up), and other opinions,
thoughts, comments, or anything that comes to mind.
I am currently 70 days out from the
2016 NPC Ronnie Coleman Series Classic, in which I will be competing
in the Men's Physique category. Hopefully, there will be a drug
tested division at that show that I can register for. If not, I will
simply go Open. The 2014 NPC Coleman Classic was the first show or
event I have ever competed in, and it would be amazing to be able to
nationally qualify on the same stage that first started my journey. I
will be utilizing the means of this endurance training journey as a
tool to improve my physique for this competition.
Today is day 1 of my endurance journey.
I am going to just see if I can jog for a mild 5 plus minutes. That
may seem easy to some or difficult to others, such as myself. I hate
running. End of story. I utilize fast twitch strength training and
conditioning. I use fasted cardio as a tool during prep, but have
never stuck by any endurance style regiment. Will I see any results?
Who knows...
Day
1
Time of Day: Midday 11:40AM
Duration till fatigue: 6:00
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.
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.
