Hill Repeats

On Saturday a friend asked to work out with me. He said, and I quote, "I'm a big wad of cookie dough." In other words, he hadn't worked out in a while and he wanted to change that.

I told him he was invited to work out with me but I was going to be working hard and he better do the same. The workout consisted of this:

5 hill sprints
100 - pushups, situps, and squats
5 hill sprints
Uphill lunge walk

He didn't know what the workout was going to be when he was coming into it. After the first 5 hill sprints, he said he was done. In his defense, the hill sprints were pretty tough. He finished the calisthenics, skipped out on the last hill sprints, then did the lunge walk. He found himself yelling at his shoes twice during the workout.

As for me, I finished everything. I was really happy when I finished and my legs weren't completely shot. This is a good sign that my legs are getting stronger.  I didn't have my watch so I couldn't time myself but it would have been skewed anyways because I had to take various "breaks" to help my family set up the new pool.

In the end the workout was good, but I needed more. GoRuck is coming faster than I realize and I need to be steel. Today, I think I'll do some parkour for my workout. If not I'll probably do 1000 situps and a long lunge walk.

Compel me.
