    My coach has me doing 3 sets of 8 x 100m sprint (run) repeats with 20 PU and 30 crunches between each 100m, so that's 480 PU I get to complete tomorrow...ugh! Did 360 last week.... and I thought Sunday was a day of rest....(I think I'm whining)

    I must have miscounted

    There's no way I did 58 in my last set today. Not possible. Stupid DH was watching and not counting. I must have miscounted.

    Anyway, looking forward to backing off a bit next week!

    Turns out I've a broken wrist, so no PUs for me for awhile.

    Poor java, I'm so sorry to hear this! Even when you're "healed", I suspect it will be even longer before your wrist can take the amount of weight that pups require. It's hard enough on my little bird wrists with no breakage in their history!

    Today I finished up week 2 (for the second time since I didn't do well enough on the exhaustion test to progress to week 3 before), so hopefully I can finally progress to week 3 -- plan on doing the exhaustion test on Monday. Please oh please let me do 16 pups!

    I'm beginning to believe that pups and cycling aren't a great combination. The last two weeks I've done the Week 5 Column 1 schedule, and continue to have a lot of overall shoulder and triceps discomfort while riding. Column 1 felt relatively "easy" while doing the pups, but I don't seem to be recovering well. I think I need to build a better base before trying to move on, so I'm going to continue with some sort of modified Week 5 for the next week or so.

    Owie, owie, healing vibes to all y'all on IR - there seem to be an awful lot of you!

    Question for those who've already done rest weeks: are you still maxing out in the last set? If not, how many are you doing in comparison to either the fixed sets or your previous max?

    Sorry to hear about the wrist. Sadly, I think the wrist I sprained this summer is acting up again. I've been getting sharp pains randomly, dropping things from time to time. I think it needs some rest.
