Circuit Training Yesterday
I did a timed training circuit yesterday. It was great — especially with the squat thrusts mixed in! I would like to do this routine more often. Here’s the breakdown:
- 1 mile sprint at about 5:20 pace (on the treadmill)
- 50 body weight squats
- 25 push ups
- 50 sit ups
- 15 pull ups
- 20 squat thrusts
- 50 more body weight squats
- 25 more push ups
- 15 more pull ups
- 20 more squat thrusts
- 1 mile sprint at 6:00 pace (on the treadmill)
My total time was about 20 minutes and 15 seconds. I have to consider the fact that I ran 16 miles the day prior, which surely affected my performance. After that, I threw around the kettlebells a bit. I did three sets of one-arm kettlebell snatches, and three sets of double-arm dead cleans into push presses. Between sets, I did v-sits and stability ball passes.
Today I ran my obligatory eight miles. My legs were burnt out a bit after yesterday’s sprints, but I pushed through and finished in about 63 minutes. Tomorrow is a rest day (sort of). I have a short warm-up jog, then karate training at 5am, but no serious running scheduled.
Thursday I’ll be in NYC but need to fit in an eight mile run. I think I’ll bring along some workout clothes and run around battery park and along West Side Highway. Should be a nice change of scenery.
