Back At It

After a superbly lazy week following the marathon, it was time to get back to it.

I'm doing a very unstructured plan with the aim to put on some muscle and move a bit toward barefoot running.

For packing on weight, I'll lift in the gym twice a week and do plyo and callisthenics at home twice a week.  For barefoot, Alan recently got his license as a vivo barefoot coach, so he's giving me some exercises to do: jumping in place, squats while up on my toes and picking up towels with my toes.

Other than this, I'll be getting out on the bike, swimming and hopefully bouldering once in a while.


On a different note, last weekend was the Ultraman World Championship on the big island of Hawaii.  This is the first year that I really followed the event, and one thing that stands out to me is the age of the competitors.  Most of the male competitors, including the overall winner, are in their high 40's or even 50's.  I guess that gives me plenty of time to prepare!
