July Outdoor Training Camp re-cap

7/27/2009

Just completed a month long 3x weekly project with Stu and Jenny. They hired me for a personalized outdoor training camp which we completed last week. 

You couldn't ask for two more different people. Jenny loved to complain (but she always did the work!) and Stu never complained (although you could see suffering in his face at the end of his sets of chinnies). Stu came into camp with a fairly recently dislocated shoulder while Jenny suffered from knee pain. Stu loved to do shuttle runs and sprints while Jenny couldn't run due to the aforementioned knee. This, folks, is why I like to keep my groups small and manageable!

To make a 4 week-long story short, we figured out workouts that fit them both, sweated and suffered, and had some memorable mornings. To close the experience off I wanted to post a few pictures of some sandbag shouldering and carries. Congrats to Stu and Jenny.

One of my clients Vanessa told me about this grain-free sushi salad she created and I made her promise to send me the recipe for the site:

Vanessa's Sushi Salmon Salad

Mix together:
1 can of salmon
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 Tsp. miso paste
Wasabi powder/paste to taste
Chopped pickled ginger
Chopped scallions
Chopped Cucumber

Serve in a cabbage leaf & top w/ chopped avocado! Delish!


Thank you Vanessa! She has been training really consistently and is getting stronger and stronger. Keep up the awesome work V!

I have a new post over at derbyconditioning.blogspot.com about maintaining your strength during the roller derby season. The points are applicable to most athletes in-season.

It's Summer

Hi I haven't been posting much lately. I guess I have been more in a "learning" phase than a "yakking" phase.
I just began an internship at Drive Fitness in Richmond.  This is a great facility and anyone out Richmond (B.C.) way is encouraged to check ot out. Basically philosophy s t provide athletic style training for, well, everyone (athletes, general population, old and young alike). This is also a place where one can go and do some strongman, learn the Olympic lifts or generally get really strong and powerful.  A good crew of trainers. Isaac, the co-owner who has taken me under his wing looks like a complete tough dude and has a really warm personality to go along with it.

Summer training has been going well. Jamie has made the UBC football team. Vanessa is getting stronger still.  Yvette's roller derby season is in full swing (sadly she is so busy I don't get to see much of her). A bunch of people have been enjoying (and suffering through) more summer-style outdoor training with sandbags, kettlebells and nasty intervals that I dream up or borrow from other coaches. Everyone that I didn't mention by name is holding their own and either loves or hates Turkish get-ups.

Drop me a line and tell me how your summer is going. Or leave a comment.

Best,
Al  [email protected]
