Heavy Bag and LTR Savannah Loop 5k

I thought I only had time for a quick 30 minute heavy bag workout today, but due to a cancellation and some inspiration from a fellow trainer and friend, I headed out to the Lower Table Rock Savannah Loop for an awesome 5k run.  After all of the agility running I did on the steep, rocky, snowy, muddy, icy trails this winter, this was quite a change.....the loop is a gently rolling/mild incline and decline fairly well maintained trail.....not too much to trip you up.  My first mile was at a 7mph, 8:34 min/mile pace and the whole 5k was at a 6.8mph, 8:49 min/mile pace......no records being set, but it kicked my butt.

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
