...And I couldn't be happier.
Today was the first day I combined a marathon workout with a Spartan Race workout. I rolled out of bed at 4:45 and started with a quick 3 mile run at race pace, or as fast as I could run without keeling over. My top sustained pace was 7:43. Granted, I can't hold a pace like that for long at the moment, but I'm slowly working on making a 6 mile run with that type of speed. I finished the run feeling great. That changed in an hour.
Rather than type the entire WOD for Spartan Race, just click here.
I made it to the gym hyped up to try this one, and I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't easy to follow in a crowded gym where everyone's looking at you run from one place to the next, but I think I made it look good. :) The 60/20 work/rest keeps your heart rate up and challenges all muscle groups, giving you an intense routine. If you do it right, you'll feel it. I indeed did it right--I was holding back vomit. Yeah, that's a gross picture, but I'll take hitting it hard than not hitting it!
Tomorrow, I'll post one of my own weight sessions. I'm excited to share my brand of fitness with people. Be sure to come back! 'Til next time!
