Short workout today. I've lost a bit of motivation with my workouts since I ran an ultra marathon on 13th June. I've been concentrating on active recovery since the race which has mainly involved easy running and rebounder sessions.
I hope to get back onto it for next month and may change my workout slightly, so that I don't lose motivation again.

Returning now that the quad is healed, although with a reduced load at one rep per hold (for now). I'm also backing down from 4 sessions per week to 3 due to a mid-week long run being added into my running schedule. I don't do these on harder run workout days.
