Obstacle Race Training-2/19/13

Today’s workout is based loosely on Ella Kociuba’s workout as described on her blog . Be sure to read her blog as it is incredible and telling. Though I had to adapt it to my own personal ability and limited time available, I found it inspiring and an awesome way to get a good workout in under an hour.

 

Run four miles and do a total of 60 burpees (in my case that was 70 push-ups). Here’s how it went down:

 

• Run 2.5 miles
• Do 30 burpees
• Run 1 mile
• Do 20 burpees
• Run .5 miles
• Do 10 Jeffreys (burpees with two push-ups each).

 

Make sure your run is fast. Ella hit the nail on the head when she wrote about the workout that might make you throw up. IT’s that intense, but well worth it if you are training to win an obstacle race.

 

Have fun and challenge yourself. You never know what you’ll see.
