Yesterday morning, when I woke up, I didn’t think I would be doing our gym workout at 5am. As it was, I only had one person at 5am and it was an 800m run every round. We aren’t in a shady part of town, but a woman shouldn’t be running alone down our street that early in the morning, so…..I did it with her. I went at a recovery pace, but it didn’t really hurt any less. AMRAP30: 800m run, 3 rope climbs, 20 burpees. The final tally was 2 miles, 10 rope climbs, and 60 burpees. I try my best to condition at least 3 times a week through longer aerobic, strongman movements, or row/bike intervals. I may be a powerlifter, but I enjoy being fit, not just strong! 🙂
Later in the day, I hit my usual Day 4 program. Have to say the hip and hammies were lit and so I changed my set up on bench slightly as to not get a cramp. All things considering, training went very well.
