Kinda funny... we are taking out some cross-fencing on the prop since we don't have goats or kids (human kids) around anymore... so I was pulling up round treated posts I put in 20 years ago... very much of a squat and was hard... but what's funny is the water table on our property this time of year. Dying of thirst is a very unlikely end around here come the apocalypse! 2' deep hole, water level is about halfway down in there. The pseudo-squats got my heart rate up! I see what you guys mean about the aerobic component. Jeff: You have POST combat trauma .. go see a specialist and have some weed..

Are you training for anything in particular? thank you Sir I am- at the end of May I'm doing the Bob Marshall Wilderness Open, this will be my third year. It's a full traverse of the Bob Marshall (along with the Scapegoat and Great Bear Wildernesses), each year the starting point and finishing point changes, how you get to the finish is up to you- no set route. It's challenging country made more challenging in May due to snow, swollen river and creeks, sketchy weather and blow down (trail crews don't start until mid June).

4.5 miles on the trails with some strides thrown in for good measure- weather is perfect for running, temps in the low 50's with little to no wind

I started running late in life (50's), but quickly became hooked; I thought it would be a good idea to start throwing in a mix of sprints (along with some distance running). I mixed up some 100's, 200's and 400's starting slow and gradually working my way up, or so I thought. On my third or fourth sprint session I did my normal warm up and started into the mixed sprints. I felt particularly good and on about my fourth go I felt like a kid and just started flying, just short of the finish BANG, felt like I got shot in the leg. I tried walking it off hoping it was something minor- a couple of days later (with no running) my wife points out that I have a long bruise on the inside of my thigh- pulled a groin muscle so bad it was bleeding internally. That marked the end of my short sprinting career

The first couple was warm ups, then hard for 4-5. Slowed down for a couple, then another couple hard. Right around 12 or so, I could feel my groin going weak. The last ones were 3/4 throttle.
Hamstrings are a little tight. Well, a lot tight.

Ahhh- the closest I do to sprints now are "strides"- 8-10 speed ups (not all out sprints) for 20 seconds and then 40 seconds back to normal pace, repeat. I'll do these once, maybe twice a week and always towards the end of my run. They seem to help as I keep track of all the different loops I do and the times are shrinking slightly
