Obstacle Course Training-12/17/12


I keep meaning to keep the workouts simple. Today was totally doable because I ate a big lunch that stayed with me most of the day. I didn’t even think I could talk myself into running. However, I was motivated by the WOD and modified it to suit my purposes.

Though the sky was overcast and temps dropping, I managed to get motivated. I started on the screened in porch with a burpee workout consisting of:
  • Burpee sets of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 8 and 9 repetitions with 10 seconds between sets.
  • Then I went on a five mile run.
  • About 2.4 miles into the run I did a set of 10 burpees.
  • I ran another mile and did a set of 9 burpees.
  • I completed the run and did the following burpee workout:
  • 8, 7, 6 burpees with 20 seconds between sets
  • 5 burpees with 10 seconds rest
  • 4 burpees with 8 seconds rest
  • 3 burpees with 6 seconds rest
  • 2 burpees followed immediately by 1 burpees.
So, 5 miles and 100 burpees; not bad for not having motivation…Huah!
