Yesterday I did several hours of yard work and then rested other than a few frog stands. Out in the garage at 9am today, when it was already hitting 70° and still near 100% humidity. We just haven’t had this type of weather yet, so today was a hell of a workout for an intro to it!
Warm-up
- Monster Walks
- 20 PVC Passes
“Murph”
- 1 Mile Run
- 100 Pull-ups
- 200 Push-ups
- 300 Air Squats
- 1 Mile Run
*Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats anyway you like.
I was hoping to run the first mile a little faster and be more consistent through the 20 rounds of 5-10-15 than last year, when I set a PR with 35:28. Then hold on far that last mile run. It was exactly 8:00 on the clock when I jumped up to the bar, compared to 8:26 last year. It took me 17:11 to get through the 20 rounds, compared to around 18:17 last year. Run may have been a little slower this year (9:07) though. My time was 34:18 for a PR by 1:10!
I wore my Garmin watch and planned to use the lap timer because it worked so well last year. I forgot to hit the button after round one and then in round five my wrist must have hit a button to quit the workout so I took it off. I did have a camera going and roughly figured out my round times, which were all under a minute. They were 40, 44, 43, 50, 49 (grabbed chips when watch reset), 46, 47, 51, 51, 54, 52, 56, 57, 55, 54, 55, 55, 56, 57, and 59 (grabbed sunglasses and turned around) seconds.
Over the years…
- 2012 – 44:26
- 2013 – 39:41
- 2014 – 40:17
- 2015 – 37:18
- 2016 – 37:11
- 2018 – 43:10 (ring rows)
- 2019 – 35:28
- 2020 – 34:18
Not bad to keep improving at 40-years-old!
The heat and humidity was pretty nasty. Brandi had the bright idea to do some ab work after, so we did.
Midline
5 Sets
- 10/10 Side V-ups
- 10 Parallette Shoot Throughs
We did these I Go You Go style. My core strength is coming back because the shoot throughs were much easier than about a month ago.
