28k kettlebell jerk half marathon- 240 reps



Today I gave half marathon jerks a try.  Went for 30 minutes at 8rpm with a 28k, changing hands the minute. Got 240 reps. Almost 15,000 pounds of work.  A good effort, but not a max.  At 177.5 lb. bodyweight, I'd need 300 reps to make CMS from the International Kettlebell Marathon Federation. At 165 or less, 250 would get the rank.  Felt good afterward

February 2017 Training Log

Feb. 23- Half marathon jerk, 28k. 30m @ 9 rpm = 270 reps. Hand switches on the minute.

Feb. 20- Half marathon jerk, 28k. 30m @ 8 rpm = 240 reps. Hand switches on the minute.

Feb. 17- Half marathon jerk, 28k. 30m @ 8 rpm = 240 reps. Hand switches on the minute.

Feb. 8- Long cycle clean and jerk, 2x20k.  Warm up: 1m @ 6rpm. Work sets: 5m @ 6rpm, 1m @ 10 rpm, 2m @ 8rpm. I've got a sore shoulder from wrestling with a scissor truss, and the goat rammed my right knee with his horns on Sunday, so it's hurting.  The 20k's are my "goldilocks bells", and it's always good working with them.

Feb. 1-7-  I've been training, but have not been faithful in keeping a log.
