MONDAY-14MAY2012

6 Rounds
400m Run 
Rest as long as necessary for breathing to return to normal (approx. 3 minutes)


The twist to this workout is….give yourself a five second grace period and then do 1 burpee for every second longer the run takes you when compared to  your first round.  For example, if I do the first round in 1:25 then round 2 takes 1:34 I have to do 4 burpees as a penalty (1:25 + 5 second grace=1:30.  Four second over 1:30 = 4 burpees) Do the burpees after each round of running.  


The trick to this is you have to sprint the first round as fast as you can run.  Don't sell yourself short just to avoid burpees later.  Run fast the first time, and let the burpees scare you into pushing yourself harder than you thought you could go for the next 5 rounds. 


Meet at Castle Field. Bring your own watch if you have one.

  1. 1:17 Crazy fast even though I knew what the twist was going to be
    1:21 - 0 burpees
    1:29 - 7 burpees
    1:39 - 17 burpees
    1:25 - 3 burpees
    1:38 - 16 burpees

    This is definitely in my top five worst workouts ever. We will totally be doing it again :)
