holy 8 mile run... my feet would be killing me.
Unless it really messes up my lifts going to try and do a 1/2 marathon at the end of September. Been 4.5 years since my last when I injured myself and never thought I would be able to run again. As long as my diet and training is in check really don't think it should effect my lifts to much besides squats for a little bit. Goal is just to complete it and nothing else.
I bought some really good running shoes. My feet do hurt but it is improving each week as my body start to adjust to it.that's really impressive. no way my feet could hold up to 10 miles these days. Do you have really good shoes for that or does your body not care too much?

Can I ask what you got? I'm always on the hunt for running shoes that help my plantar issues. I've used these Sauconys and they helped a lot:

but I wore through them and I'm using these under armors now. I'm about due for a new pair though;

So today's run was sort of a test for the 1/2 marathon since I will probably be up around 18 hours straight and working through the night, 10pm to 6am is my schedule. One of my biggest concerns was how my body would respond and today was about as expected, it really sucked. I decided that the 1/2 marathon the following weekend will be a no go. Mentally I really don't want to put myself through that back to back weeks. Time I got to lifting was up 25 hours straight and ran the 11 miles. Considering everything my top set was probably only around 15lbs off.
how do you survive with such little sleep? this can't be good for you....
graveyard shift is a beast....I'm going on 5 years now...you'd be surprised how much your body can adapt to..
DP you're pressing some serious weight!
Need about 15 yrs to get a day shift and swing is 2pm to 10pm and would never see my wife on that shift.you guys are nuts man. I go through stints occasionally where my sleep is down to 4-5 hours and I feel like i'm going to die within a week.

Deads;
7 sets 1 rep 315lbs, 345lbs, 365lbs, 385lbs, 410lbs, 435lbs, 445lbs**Ended up being a ME
12 Mile Run; 1:50:40
Should have stopped a set before the last since the last set was definitely an ME set. Either way happy with the results and this new deads workout seems to be working good. The old way I did deads no way in a 6 weeks period I could have pulled 440lbs and then 445lbs. Sure the running is not helping too and if I de-loaded before an ME set think things would be better. Ended up signing up for both 1/2 marathons, 9/29 and 10/7. Sometimes I get crazy ideas in my head because I really like a physical/ mental challenge and this definitely is. Haven't ran in 4 1/2 years and in 10 weeks going to try and run 1/2 marathon with another 8 days later. So far though think the training has not effected my lifts to much and will have 8 weeks afterwards for the meet.
