Current weekly workout schedule:

Sunday - long morning run (6 - 7 miles)

Monday - 90 minute evening Kyokushin class

Tuesday - morning run (4 - 5 miles)

Wednesday - 90 minute evening Kyokushin class

Thursday - morning run (4 - 5 miles)

Friday - morning run (4 - 5 miles)

Saturday - 2 hour Kyokushin fighter's training class

Run pace is on the slow side (9:00 - 10:00 per mile) so the total run time is anywhere from 40:00 to over 1 hour on Sundays.

Been trying to add in some pushup sets on Mondays and Wednesdays and I'd like to work in some burpee sets on Thursday night. All depends how I feel at the end of the work day.

Got sidetracked for a few weeks in June because of a lower leg injury, was concerned I had another stress fracture but it cleared up in about 10 days. Bought some new running shoes which I think are helping.

Starting with this week, we are going to be switching things up. On A workouts, we will do squats, presses, and then alternate deadlifts and power cleans; I will alternate the power clean day with power snatches, so I still get to work on the longer pulling movement. On B workouts, we will do squats, bench (I will keep doing push presses), and back extensions and alternating chin-ups and pull-ups. The chins/pulls will be an adventure, as I have never done a complete one, and they will be new for Kendall, too. To start, we are going to do jumping chins/pulls to get us stronger for the dead-hanging.
