Loving the warm weather
Every minute on the minute perform an amrap of a different exercise. The first minute do as many hand stand push ups as you can. The second minute do as many ring dips as you can. The third minute as many push ups as you can. Repeat this cycle of every minute on the minute until you reach a total of 150. Then immediately run 1 mile for an accumulative time.
My time was 18:37
I set my rings up outside on the porch in the sun. I had previously mapped out my run on mapmyrun.com. This website is amazing and everyone should have a look at it. I will put a link to it on my website later when I have more time.
To warm up I went through the cycle of hspu, rd's and pu's. Three rounds of 5 each. I did a series of of plank variations to further warm up the shoulders and the core. Then I had an easy run through the coarse I had previously mapped out on line. This proved valuable to further my warm up and to get a good idea of what I had ahead of me. I live on a mountain so the problem is I didnt want to have a lopsided run. I didnt want to run a half mile up hill and then a half mile down. So on the website I found some side roads went slowly up and down to the base of this steep road leading to my house. The final 600 meters were steep and continuous.
After the warm up run I was ready to go. I set the watch and got after it. I did really well in the hspu's getting 25 in the first round. I pulled out another 20 on the rd's and 30 on the pu's. Then I was pumped. going into the second round of hspu's my triceps were totally blasted. I could only get 9 same with the rd's. The pu's were never an issue. The third round of each was much the same as the second. I finally got to 150 at 10:07 . I grabbed my jacket and took off.
The run was smooth sailing until the second half when I faced 600 meters or so up a steep steep incline. I finished the run in 8:15. Not an entirely fast time . But it will do!
I liked this work out. I have really enjoyed training outside this last week as well. The weather has been amazing. I hope it stays this way. There is nothing like training out in the open.
