Wednesday 1 July 2026 · Week 3 Build · Strength B + conditioning day. Happy new financial year — EOFY statements are landing. No live meetings, so protect your blocks. Race 39 days out (Sun 9 Aug).
Nothing needs prep. Protect the self-study and gym blocks.
FYI: PropertyMe weekly leasing update for Lagoon Main Beach (past halfway on lease-up). No reply needed.
Today (Wed) — Week 3 Build: Strength B (lower/posterior, back-safe) + 4×4min conditioning intervals. Wk3–4 is where the 4×4s move onto the treadmill to build run speed — if you do, keep Fri/Sat's run easy to stay at 2 impact days.
Tomorrow (Thu) — Z2 base, 45–55min low-impact on a different machine to Monday (rower/bike/elliptical/ski erg/stair), conversational HR 122–134, + mobility + sauna.
Load rule: ~94kg, injury-free is the whole point. Heavy squats & deadlifts stay out. All strength = 3 sets, 1–2 reps in reserve. Full gym-ready version on the WOD tab.
Nothing new — Inbox empty, no category files touched in the last ~24h. Quiet capture day.

Wednesday · Week 3 Build · Strength B (lower/posterior, back-safe) + conditioning
Warm-up (8–10min) — 5min easy bike/row; glute bridges 2×15, cat-cow ×10, hip airplanes 8/side, leg swings, band walks 2×15/side. Wake the posterior chain before loading.
Main set — 3 sets each, @ 10–12 reps, back-safe (no spinal loading):
Conditioning — 4×4min (4 on / 4 off): this week on the treadmill — 4min @ tempo–threshold (HR 155–163, ~4:35–4:45/km feel), then 4min easy walk/jog recovery (HR back to ~130). ×4.
Cool-down (8–10min) — 5min easy walk; hamstring + hip-flexor + calf stretches, foot rolling for the cramps. Sauna if time.
Back twingy or readiness low? Run the 4×4 on the rower / ski erg / assault bike instead, and keep Fri/Sat as the only treadmill speed. If the back's talking, swap RDLs for glute bridges + a second core set.
Z2 base — 45–55min low-impact aerobic on a different machine to Monday, conversational HR 122–134, + mobility + sauna.
