Wednesday 8 July — one real external meeting: 10:30 with James Curtis (Allura Partners) re ALH Hotels; prep your positioning. Week 8 study first, Jobs block at noon, strength + mindfulness at 3. Ennismore VP Ops Pacific referral worth actioning. Wheels-up to Christchurch 07:50 tomorrow — check in + pack tonight. Cutback training week. Race 32 days out.
Tomorrow: Emirates 412 to Christchurch departs 07:50 (ref RRUCQS) — check in tonight. Plus AI Education + Week 8 Retirement Living study.
FYI: the ALH/James Curtis thread already became today's 10:30 meeting. Rest was job alerts, newsletters & receipts.
TODAY (Wed): Strength B lower/posterior (back-safe) — RDL, step-ups, hamstring curl, calf raises @ 10–12; farmers carry — then 4×4min treadmill intervals. Full session in the WOD tab.
TOMORROW (Thu): Z2 base low-impact, but it's a travel day (07:50 flight) — easy hotel-gym/airport Z2 + mobility on arrival; don't force impact.
Cutback week — moderate loads, ~2 reps in reserve, no PB-chasing. Absorption is the point.
Quiet — no new files in ~24h, Inbox clear (README only). Nothing to file.
Wednesday · Week 4 of 8 — CUTBACK · Strength B: Lower/posterior + 4×4 conditioning
Warm-up (8–10min): 5min easy bike/rower (HR 120–134); leg swings & hip openers; bodyweight glute bridges 2×12; cat-camel 2×8 for the back; 1 light warm-up set of RDL.
Conditioning — 4×4min treadmill intervals: 4min ON @ tempo/interval effort (HR 155–163), 4min easy jog/walk recovery between. Cutback week — hold it controlled, threshold not max.
Load cue: ~2 reps in reserve, ~90s rest between sets. Absorption over intensity.
Cool-down (5–10min): easy spin + posterior-chain stretch (hamstrings, glutes, calves). Optional sauna.
Back-safe throughout: heavy squats & deadlifts stay OUT. If the back's talking, drop RDL load and keep the hinge shallow.
Z2 base, low-impact 45–55min — but it's a travel day (Emirates 412, 07:50 to Christchurch). Get it as easy hotel-gym/airport-walk Z2 + mobility on arrival, or shift it. Don't force impact around the flight.
Weights logging coming soon.
