Obstacle Course Training-12/18/12


I stayed late at work today and intended to do a shorter workout. However, I became quickly motivated by changing up my planned obstacle run. This time I still did the 4 miles on the track with obstacles, but switched around the warm up.

I ran four warm up laps. Beginning with the inner lane I ran each lap then moved to an outer lane. By the time I finished, I was in the fourth lane from the center. Since the track has 8 lanes, I moved all the way out for each lap. By the time two miles was finished, I started all over again.

Beginning with the 2nd mile, I began the obstacles for the next three miles. Here's what I recommend:
Do two obstacles then  a lap, sprinting on the straightaway and jogging on the curves:

·        Eight foot tall ladder obstacle to climb over
·        Chin up bars (1st time five Pull-ups/2nd time five chin-ups)
·        Tire trot
·        Rings (monkey bars)
·        Five foot wall
·        Rings
·        Chin up bars (1st time five Pull-ups/2nd time five chin-ups)
·        Incline sit ups
·        Incline rings
·        Parallel bars
·        Rope climb
·        Balance obstacle
·        Monkey bars
·        Chin up bars (1st time five Pull-ups/2nd time five chin-ups)

Since I only ran two obstacle per lap, I ended the run six obstacles short from completing them twice. I used the last lap to complete all six consecutively.

Then finished with a lap cool down.
