Helen
After a weekend of 15K trail racing Satruday, and 7 miles of fast hiking Sunday, I was ready for a little muscle-taxing time. I got it with miss Helen.
WOD – Helen
Three rounds of:
- 400 meter sprint
- 21 kettlebell swings (1.5 pood KB, or 55lb DB)
- 12 pull-ups
Doh! I did this wrong today. I did 15 pull-ups for each of the three rounds. …but a little extra work never hurt anybody.
I didn’t time the WOD today.
See Helen Run
WOD – “Helen”
Three rounds of:
- 400 meter run
- 21 kettlebell swings (55lbs)
- 12 pull-ups
No rest between rounds (yea, right)
Christian says, “Good workout this morning despite feeling pretty fatigued and sore. I didn’t time the effort, but ran my 400′s at:
- 9.5mph (6:32 minute miles)
- 9.6mph (6.25 minute miles)
- 9.7mph (6.19 minute miles)
and completed swings as rx’d …pull-ups, sorta rx’d, but sucked. Fatigue pull-ups are just a bitch!
One hundred push-ups update – Week one
Today will complete week one of the hundred push-ups training challenge.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am doing the push-ups as a break in the work day at my office in downtown Atlanta.
I added an extra day of push-ups in week one since the training was rather easy this round – but it’s gonna get tougher.
Will I get there? 100 consecutive push-ups?
We’ll see…
Get some!
Pain is temporary, quitting is Permanent!
What a great quote.
As someone who runs ultramarathons up and over the mountain trails of the good ol’ USA, this is a great quote to keep filed away. Here are some more that help me through difficult and challenging endurance attempts:
- “Never make a race decision on an uphill”
- “Crossfitters never quit”
- “There are others suffering too – some more than you”
Next time you’re in a race, or even challenged by life in general, chant one of these and keep moving forward.
