I feel like I had a good February.
I managed to regularly make it to the gym and really noticed some gains in my strength. I was able to bring all of my major lifts up, and feel good about my progress there. I made some tweaks early in the month spreading my workouts out a little bit to cut down my time at the gym. I am now doing a 4 day split which is nice because it does keep the time at the gym lifting around 1 hour which I feel is the sweet spot for my life as a whole. I still do add cardio to some of the workouts, normally in the form of a 10 minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Treadmill Run. This is essentially why the total distance ran has decreased for February as I&#39;ve been focusing on higher intensity rather than distance.
The whole diet factor still is an issue I&#39;m trying to correct, but I&#39;m getting a little better.
I am running Broad Street (10 miles) at the beginning of May and will likely be running a 15k at the beginning of April so I&#39;ll probably be adding in some runs to my workouts.
