E = Endurance
S = Strength
P = Power

Beginning the this week was ending the month simultaneously and when it’s doing it under the orange lights then it’s a great way to exit and enter.

Tiffany and I drove over to our home studio OTF Nona North as we usually do:

and worked out with the 5am crew for Head Coach Mariah.

Tomorrow the Marathon Month under the orange lights benchmark (month) challenge begins where if you choose to participate you get to choose a target and with Orangetheory’s management we keep track of our distance which is accumulated all month long.

Honestly, it’s business as usual. The full body workouts continue. The rowing and the run blocks continue.

The only difference is that those of us who participate, are adding an extra challenge to our daily grind. I chose the Ultra level, so my challenge is to total 32 miles plus of distance.

Today was less running because it was a Run to Row block so that cuts into the full running blocks. With that said, it kept our legs fresh for the start of the benchmark tomorrow.

The month ending template was a repeat of the incline % run to row + drop sets template from mid-July.

On the floor, I went with 30, 35 and 40 pound dumbbells for the (weighted) excercises.

I burned close to 600 calories but no close enough at 572.

For the run to row, I rowed 1141 meters getting as high as 315 watts of power with a rowing speed of 11.4 miles per hour.

On the tread, I totaled 1.75 miles of distance which wasn’t so bad considering the back and forth from tread to rower. I did run a 10 mile per hour ALL OUT to end it.

Of course all these numbers were tame compared to the monster stats I generated yesterday: Jiffy and OTF Coach #237 - It Takes Two To Make a Thing Go Right - My Actifit Report Card: July 30 2023
