300 Challenge – Day 2

by Mike Haydon on April 4, 2009

Ok, Day 2 of the 300 challenge complete. Time of 31 minutes 42 seconds, so I beat yesterday’s time by 7 minutes 42 seconds. I think the main reasons were:

  1. Because I had completed the 300 test yesterday, I already had the belief that I could do it again.
  2. I was more prepared this time – yesterday I forgot my water bottle and towel (for the grass).
  3. I did more reps without a break.

I’ve noticed that my metabolism was way up this morning when I woke up. It was like my skin was tingling with energy and the feeling is still going. That being said, I don’t remember being this sore, not matter how hard I trained.

In today’s session, I found the deadlifts to be the “easiest”. It’s is probably because I do them regularly. I officially hate floor wipers and whoever put those 25 pullups at the end of the workout is truly a sadist :)

My body is telling me that I won’t be able to complete a full week of this, but I’m not going to give up, no matter how painful it gets or how long it takes for me to haul myself out of bed.

I’ve been going to bed early each day (10:30 pm) and getting up at the same time (7 am), so that’s going to help me get through this. I’m also making sure I’m getting enough nutrition to support this challenge. Am I regretting the decision to take on this challenge? Not at all. It gives me incredible satisfaction (not to mention a massive pump) completing each workout. I highly recommend anyone go for it.
