Training: Week 6 A2S 1.0 w/ strength and 10k accessory/running. This was probably the worst week of training I’ve had in a while. Part of that was travel and part of that was overtraining leading up to the end of the week. I need to implement some easy strength deadlifts and just start greasing the
