felt great. This is a solid milestone. I really pushed the last few miles. That got me out of my target heart range, but I felt really good and wanted to push the average pace per mile lower.

Full-Body A — Week 1 (Baseline)

9 movements · 21 sets · 40:00

Week 1 opener of Strength & Cut. Baseline test logged as AMRAP sets: 16 push-ups, 65s plank, 30 bodyweight squats in 60s. Circuits A and B felt like starter workloads (except final push-up sets). Circuit C (reverse lunge + plank) was the hardest by a wide margin — notably higher sweat/breathing. Row felt under-loaded on the red band; step to blue next session.

Longest ruck yet. Felt good. Focus was on HR zone. Boredom creeping in around mile 6. Around mile 7 feet and lower back started to hurt just a little. Final mile was generally the hardest this time. Looking forward to 10 miles on Monday.

Marked this one as harder because I didn't stretch well yesterday or warm up enough today I think. Muscles were a bit tighter. It was also the first time adding another 10lbs. The challenge of the added weight still felt good overall.
