28 Mile (One Way) Cycle Commute to the Office today!
Pros:
• Little to no traffic
• 2400 feet elevation gain/beautiful views
• Outside time
• Calories burned: 1900 😍

Cons:
• Takes a long time
• Would probably be late for work 🤣
• 🔥🔥 NO AIR CONDITIONING! 🔥🔥

To be honest: not sure I'd do this ride again, at least in the middle of the Utah Summer Afternoon. 😅 Anyone wanna guess the max temp my watch clocked? taken in StratoZen, Inc. by @braydenlately

2020 | Day 136 - A Moment of Reflection

Got out and put in some good miles this morning! About halfway through my run, there was a longer pause in between songs of my normal playlist and I caught the sound of some nature around me.
Specifically it was the sound of crickets! 🦗

Because I was in a walk/rest portion of my workout, I took my headphones off to listen. I RARELY do this, since I tend to rely on music to keep me focused during hard efforts.
In that moment, the quiet serenity really struck me on a deeper level. At that moment, I was present, without many extra noises. It was truly special. 💚

Then I put my headphones back in and kept at it!! Did you have any moments of present-ness this week? taken in Murdock Canal Trail by @braydenlately

2021 Day 117 | Change of Pace

Gotta give a HUGE shout-out to @jeffnippard and his 10 week Powerbuilding plan.

Started this back in December and after a few setbacks I was able to finish just last week!

Let me tell you, the science behind this plan is SOLID. I gained about six pounds of lean body mass, but also gained some crazy strength from start to finish. Here's are the numbers, all calculated One Rep Maxes based off a top working set, as many reps as possible:

Back squat: 190 lbs ➡️ 230 lbs
Bench press: 130 lbs ➡️ 160 lbs
Deadlift: 200 lbs ➡️ 265 lbs
Overhead Press: 95 lbs ➡️ 100 lbs

For the summer, I'm going to be dialing it back and lifting three times a week, with a focus on running into the fall. I will probably work this program again for the holidays, before looking at getting more serious about triathlon training in the new year!

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and support. I chat with many of you and love our community! 💚💚 taken in American Fork Fitness Center by @braydenlately
