Made up weight circuit: Sometimes for reps and then for 1-2 max, then back to reps. Chinups, rollouts, stretching. Couple nice glut gals, but I like a little cushion.

I'm guessing at 70 you may not be as critical.

Maybe, but I've always had standards, they just never were all that high:)

I'm guessing at 70, cushion becomes important.

Did the three miles with 48 lbs today. Gorgeous day. May do some upper body later, and then going to the Rockies game for some healthy hot dogs.

Gym, Working on lats and pull ups today. Tomorrow climbing the hill with 50lbs 7 miles 2100 ft. 100 push ups. I did this same hike all week with no weight and was pretty tired by the end of the week. Lucky I could sleep in today.

Light day at work with weights, stretching and core. Came home and the Concept2 called: Half hour relatively easy, but with one 500 meter at 2:02; almost there.

2 mile interval run this morning with stretching and 40 pushups. Run portions getting longer. Leg pain dictated the walks rather than HR for the most part.

5 rounds for time: Sumo Deadlift High Pull 45# - 100 reps Rest 2 min 28:28. There were more folks than rowers, so I did sumo deadlift highpulls with a 45# bar instead of rowing 1000m as prescribed. Did my first 100 without having to set the bar down and did it in 2:49. Don't think I could row 1000m that fast...

I climbed again last night two round trips to summit total 5.6 mi. 2100 ft gain increased my push-ups to 125. My wife joined me for the first trip it was nice except she kicked my butt. I need help with breathing when taxed, I just get where I am breathing too fast and uncontrolled. I know this would help me Run longer and is preventing me from recovering quicker. Any Tips?

cowkiller- This asthmatic finds slow and deep breaths the best. Gotta start doing them before it gets uncontrolled.

Have you tried interval training?

Your present max HR is your engine governor. Hit it and the motor slows down. Training eventually will allow you to do more. Stay smooth and in control. Intervals are a great training suggestion. Going long every day usually isn't. Slowing down or even resting before you crash will get you there quicker and less wore down.
