Strength Portion of Mixed Workout
Tyler and I did a crazy “mixed interval workout”… The basic idea was to do approximately a 1 mile run, then between run sets, do a strength training superset. It turns out our runs were about 1.8 miles each, and include a nice long steady hill of about half mile with a 150ft elevation gain in the middle of it.
Our super sets were 2 parts arms and 2 parts abs of about 20 reps each set. We mixed in pull ups, crunches, push ups, 21s, bicycle crunches, hammer curls, v-ups, windshield wipers, x-ups, straight situps, dips, tricep pulldowns, decline oblique twists, leg cross-overs, and more.
The strength sets were 7:04, 7:39, and an extra long set of 23:29 to close it out. Originally we were going to do four running laps because we thought it was about a 1 mile course, but after we completed the first lap it was clear that it was long and Tyler wouldn’t have made it the fill 4 laps. So we cut our runs to 3 laps and basically finished two strength sets together at the end.
All in all it was a great workout.
