Escape Velocity Week 8, Check Your Understanding, Resting in Discomfort

Learning to rest in a place of discomfort is a valuable skill. In any case, you’re obligated to pick your poison and your punishment. How hard or how far you’re able to push the needle rarely depends on external conditions, however your willingness to do so may be a different story.

Summary:

This week’s Escape Velocity sessions hit hard. As the program will be completed next week, this week was a time to “test your understanding”, where you’re given some guidelines and structure for a session, but the exact contents are left for you to decide — and suffer the consequences of.

The endurance and capacity sessions still point to an aerobic deficit on my part, while I’m proficient at relying on my skeleton to “rest”; and “power”, like “strength” isn’t a deficit area for me.

This is all great information as I prepare to wrap up the final week of Escape Velocity, take a de-load week, and then begin NP’s Free Fall program to explore both myself and applications / implementations for grappling in general.
