otes: Woke up feeling like crap and not wanting to train. Did so anyway. Actually have a pretty good session (albeit short). I think the fatigue/crap feeling is being caused by the sudden increase in training volume and intensity.

JN left a comment on the last post asking for a weekly breakdown and the goals of my current set-up.  So today I thought I’d post it all up here. Goals: Simply put I need to improve overall conditioning and develop power.  While these seem like mutually exclusive goals, my conditioning is currently so low, [...]
