48 hours in My Life as a D1 Runner & Pre-Med Student ｜ MCAT Prep, Classes + Training

Hey guys, I haven't done a video like this in a while so I thought I would do a little 48 hours in the life. Today is Monday, November 2nd and Monday and Tuesday are pretty full days for me. Today I have practice at 7:30 which is the latest that we start practice so I usually will start my morning with some studying and then for practice today I only have a 50 to 60 minute cross train and then tomorrow I have a workout so on the practice side Monday is a little bit lighter but I have three classes and then I also have plyos today. And tomorrow I have a workout, weights, and two classes. So yeah, I'm just going to take you guys kind of through my day. I'm also studying for the MCAT, but I have an exam on Wednesday and then another exam on Thursday. So my studying is a little bit modified this week, but I just wanted to take you guys kind of through a day or two days in my life and what it looks like right now. So typically every single morning I wake up and I'll start with a CARS passage, so this one is the Jack Westin Daily Passage, it's on wine today, interesting, and then I will do some questions on UWorld, I use the UWorld Comprehensive Prep Course, and I'll do 10 to 15 questions, on the weekends I do a lot more. I usually will just do this, review them, make Anki cards on my mistakes, and then I'll do the Anki cards throughout the day, and then also the Pomko deck just to help with my psych-soc. It is currently 9.45, so I finished plyos and practice. I did a 60-minute bike, and then I headed over to practice, and we did plyos, which for us is a lot of single leg work. So we had the boxes, and we did single leg step-downs. We did a lot of bounds. And we did a lot of like jumps off of the box and then bounce from there. I was really good for staying healthy and all of that. Now I am at the study rooms. I have class at 10:40 so I'm going to study for my exam until I have to leave to walk over for class. But I did some flash cards on the bike this morning so I feel pretty good about it and hopefully Yeah, I just keep getting more confident throughout the day that I'm going to do well. But I also picked up some food. I wanted to do a little haul of the food that I got. So starting off, I got a Barebells bar. These are awesome. Probably my favorite thing that we get for free. They're super expensive at the store. They're really good and I like them. And then for my actual food for breakfast, I got Fairlife milk. I got some grapes. And then I got some cereal and I got two things of Cheez-Its so that is my little haul for now and I'm going to do some studying. I just called my mom on my walk so that was nice. And yeah, honestly really good day so far. Just have to kind of like really study and I'm done with practice for the day. So yeah. Hey guys, I forgot to pop in for a bit, let's see if this will focus, but I had my three classes today, all went pretty well, and now I have FCA to end the night. So it's currently 6.01, I just studied at the Moore for a bit, and that was actually really productive study session, so that was good, just for Human Phys, my exam on Wednesday, and then yeah, I'll end my night with FCA. Um, 7 to 8 o'clock and then tomorrow I have a workout on the IMs my coach just sent out. So we're going to do that. Um, we've been doing a lot of workouts on the track, so this is going to be a little bit different, but I think it will be good. And then I'll have weights tomorrow. I have an 11.30 class and then I have a 5.30 to 8.30 class, which I do not enjoy. But yeah, it's kind of my Monday. Just three classes, I had my Anthropology class from 10.40 to 11.30, and then I had my Evolution class from 12 to 12.50, went home, studied for a little bit, and then I had my Human Phys class from 3.05 to 4.20, came here, studied, and now I'm going to probably just chill for the next hour before FCA and call it a day, because my brain is hurting, but yeah, it's my Monday. Okay. I'm headed over to practice now, it is 6.45 so I need to actually get going but I have an IM workout. It is 2 by 2 miles with 3 minute rest so I'm going to go warm up and head over there. Workouts done. That was a really tough workout for me. My body feels good so I'm like okay that's good but did the 20 minute warm-up. Already was feeling kind of iffy on that. Just felt hard like some days the warm-up feels really good. Today was not one of those days but I was like okay. you know let's go into this workout and do our best uh the warm-up quarter that went well i ran like a 1 16 on the grass so i was happy with the warm-up quarter still just wasn't feeling great and then yeah just didn't really hit my paces today they were fast everyone kind of struggled but i think that i've just felt stronger on other days with the workout so it was also on grass um so it was just like it was a bit more difficult but um I think mentally I stuck with it and I was like okay let's you know not feel sorry for yourself like let's you just focus on every lap and all of that but it was hard it was a hard day I ran Only about six miles. So it wasn't like a big volume day. Um, but I have weights later today and yeah, I think like workouts like today with the tempo stuff just reminds me that I'm not necessarily where I want to be fitness wise. I feel like my race was pretty good and it was like a big jump in fitness for me, but I still have a long ways to go in terms of like getting my tempo speed back and stuff. Um, I feel like in terms of Sprinting I feel pretty good and in terms of like the shorter reps, but the longer aerobic stuff I still have a lot of work to do and A lot of that just comes from continuing to show up to practice do my best and stay healthy So that's my workout recap. I couldn't film I don't like filming at practice, I don't think it's good for my team to have distractions like that, but I did just want to share what I'm up to, what my schedule kind of looks like. Right now it's 8.27, so it's actually a really early start to my day. I have a test on Wednesday, so I will be studying for that pretty much all day. I have a class at... 11.35, which is prokaryotic biology, and then I have my lab for that class 5.30 to 8.30, so Yeah, and weights at 2.20 to 3.20, so it's a pretty pretty full day, but I have a lot of time before class So I'm gonna go shower, and then we're gonna get into some studying After eating up the fig, which I didn't get any video of, and now, yeah, weights, and then I will go home, study, and go to class. The I.S. No, she had me too. I'm headed to my lab. It is pouring outside. Guys, I just got home from my lab. It is 7.48, so I got out early, which is super exciting. I'm ready to go to bed, but having cinnamon toast crunch before I go to bed, I wanted to do a little just like recap, I guess, of the past two days. is um Yeah, it's been good. I feel like school has been really busy. I have an exam on Wednesday. I'm still studying for that. I have classes, obviously, throughout the day that I need to go to. And just like little random homework assignments and then obviously practice and weights and all of that but I'm really happy to be doing what I'm doing and I think that is the most important thing and I think I've found like a pretty good balance with that. So yeah, this is kind of like a discombobulated two days in my life, what a Monday and Tuesday look like. I think the rest of the week honestly looks pretty similar. Training obviously kind of changes day to day, but pretty much Monday is a little bit easier on the training side. Got some plyos, got some class. And then Tuesday, I have a bit more of like a workout session, weights, and more class, including this late one that I don't really like. But yeah, I just haven't done a little day in the life video, so I wanted to take you guys through it since it's been a while. But thank you so much for watching. I am going to get ready for bed and probably be in bed by 8.30. But yeah, that is a little 48 hours of my life, and thanks again for watching.
