Howdy you outstanding, brilliant, and sexy Tribe member! I hope you had a fantastic July and I know we are all going to have an amazing August. One reason is because we jump into the second month of our two-month speed-focused training block. Before we get to the programming, I’ve got just a few updates for you.
- I’ll be out of town (death in the family) this week.
- No Daddy for the Monday and Wednesday team sessions.
- I’m back at the track in Belgrade at 10 am on Saturday the 6th.
- Make sure you hit at least some (why not all?) of your training.

Fieldsesh Breakdown: Barefoot time. Carry that sandbag around for a while and notice how it gradually loosens you up. Then hit those MB throws plus dashes, mixing your throws as you like. One throw, one sprint, walk back slowly. Times 30! Cooldown is open-ended but not to be skipped.
Trailsesh Breakdown: Instead of going heavy and hard, go long and lighter. This is the art of dynamic training, mixing in different variables. It’s why you are a Tribe member.
Tracksesh Breakdown: This is rhythm running again, but it’s squatty. This means you flex your legs a tiny bit more but don’t bend your back. It helps with compact cycling and frontside mechanics. These are key to not overstriding, casting, or staying backside for too long. You will have questions about this and I’ll help you when I get back. Keep the FittKitt stuff at the end fairly casual. Just pick some moves and work on them without a lot of thought.
Recoversesh Breakdown: Same as last week. No impact easy cardio with a cool-off at the end. Treat yourself to a popsicle or ice cream and don’t feel guilty.
Enjoy your training and keep up the good work. A bunch of games and contests are coming, as well as some creative nature outings. Simple workouts again this week and no vid necessary, but here’s a great podcast episode for you to enjoy. I was recently a guest on The Backcountry Hunting Podcast and I discussed training for hunting in great detail.
