Spring Break Over

Spring Break Over
Ok, so my mini-spring break is over and it's back to the grindstone. I really love the mountains and arranging my life so I can be in them is extremely apparent to me. This last week really taught me that I need to find more balance in my training schedule. I'll admit, I've been training so hard that my body is sort of rejecting the volume lately and my shooting has taken a back seat. So I've had to recalibrate my thinking and go back to my old man workout splits: Train on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday... and resting/shooting on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I will always get a good hike in on Sundays, but Wednesdays and Saturdays I need to be at the local range shooting the 3D course. I don't shoot everyday, but I do make sure that reps happen every week. I am hoping the extra rest will give me more intensity on my training days and wind down the nagging little injuries that have accumulated. Monday April 3rd, 2016 1. 1.
