Training week roundup 15th - 21st September 2012

Friday night seems like the perfect night to look back on the weeks training, take stock and prepare to push hard again for the week ahead.

This week was a little bit lighter than usual because I had some additional work commitments that meant I couldn't run at lunch as much as I would have liked although I didn't have a rest day so I am not sure exactly where that leaves the balance for the week.

I tried a new CrossFit box Wednesday morning, CrossFit Merciless (website currently down try Facebook instead), and as of Thursday began following the workout programming of Merciless' head coach Peter Trapp. Thus far the program has been a really good challenge that has left me aching more than I have in a while.
