I was finally feeling like a normal human so Sunday I returned to the gym. I hadn't run in a long time and I have new running shoes, so I wanted to add some running.

I do high reps because I am done with the previous phase that was MAXIMUM STRENGTH. I do these reps more quickly than before.
The goal with a routine like this is to keep the strength from the previous phase while I return to on-the-bike training.
Now I'm going outside to ride....
By the way, that picture is the same leg press machine that I use. Just wanted to leave my own blog entry some comments.
