WOD: Doubles and Running

Workout
5 rounds

  • Double complex: 6 swings, 6 cleans, 6 squats, 6 presses, 6 push ups, 6 renegade rows
  • Jog for 2 minutes
  • Rest for 2 minutes


Results
I had to take it outside today, too nice to be in the gym!  So I grabbed 2 16s and headed down to the park for a little "outfield" workout.

This was a good one for me, because I need to run more.  Soccer has helped, but my lungs are still pretty weak.  And since I'm a little too beat up (from soccer) to go for any longer runs, 2 minute jogs on grass are just about perfect.

The complex got tough the last couple rounds, especially the presses and push ups - after the cleans and squats, my shoulders were just about fried.  The jogging got noticeably tough in the 3rd round.  What I liked about this one was that I was forcing myself to run immediately after the complex.  That kind of double bell work already takes a lot out of my lungs, so I think pushing them a little harder by immediately jogging is good for them.  Plus it makes me that much more tired for the next round, which is a good thing too.

Anyway, it felt great to get out and enjoy the sun a little today!
