Not going to lie, I am getting a little bored of the easy strength template. Body feels rested for the most part and my mobility has really increased which is a plus. Weight is still at 200#. Tuesday starts my weight manipulation phase. I went into my last 50 mile run at a lean 200# and felt heavy. The goal for this coming ultra will be to run at 190#. I will cut back carbs from morning and afternoon meals and that should take care of the extra weight.
