It was a crisp, clear 28 degrees this evening so I jogged over to Washington Park for some below-freezing sprints:
Repeat 10x
Total time: 7:01. The bulk of the time was spent resting on the pushups - my pushups need work. The low sweat index is a result of the cold weather.
Got out for my first workout since becoming a dad! Went to Washington Park between feedings and diaper changes for a quickie:
Total time: 14:36. This probably should have taken about 10 minutes, but I got really winded. Need to get back into it, clean up my diet, and get better rest. In order to get my workouts in over the next few month, they’re going to have to be brief, intense, and close to home (Washington Park or the basement).
I meant to go push some weight today, but I accidentally locked myself out of my apartment. Headed over to Washington Park instead and designed a workout around running around the perimeter of the park:
Repeat 4x
Total time: ~14 min. Hey, I didn’t have my gymboss, so I timed it on my cell phone. I felt pretty sluggish throughout and didn’t really have my wind today.
What’s this — a beautiful Sunday afternoon and there are no park-closing events at the turf field on Washington Park? Look out kids!
AMRAP in 15 minutes
Score: 11 rounds. The timer actually beeped before I finished my last round, but I finished a few seconds later. This one always sucks and leaves me with some nice blisters on the heel of my hand.
Trying to incoporate biking into my conditioning workouts:
Repeat 3x
Total time: 16:03.
Trying to be like Zach and become a better biker. Become a better person.
Untimed, since Frank is holding my timer hostage.
After getting stuck at work all night, I headed out to the turf field behind the Old Stone House for a quick workout. Set this up like the Jailhouse 10, but I sprinted the width of the turf field (about 50m) between sets:
No gymboss, so this was untimed. Finished with 100 pushups (10 x 10). The good news is my wrist felt fine.
Cooked up a quick circuit after my front squatting:
Untimed since I forgot my timer today. I sure was sweating good though.
Headed to the Red Hook track for one Ross’s cruelest inventions: the Interval Challenge:
Repeat 4x
Total time: 18:32, which is a PR, but felt slow as hell. The runs were just way too slow.
Previously: 4/2/08
Repeat 12x
This is a gasser. Did this on the turf field at Washington Park. No timer today, so I just went as fast as my little legs could carry me. The bear crawls and crab walks are really awful.
I noticed a crossbar on the fence around Washington Park that was perfect for pullups, so I cooked up this little circuit to get my rage out:
Total time: unknown. My gymboss went on the fritz and I didn’t have anyything handy to reset it. I’m estimating the sprint across the turf at Washington Park to be ~50m, which is the closest estimate I can get based on Google Maps. The HSPUs slowed me down and the ROM was questionable on all of them. The fence around the park isn’t ideal for these.
Trapped inside due to the weather, so I headed downstairs to the sweaty little basement.
Repeat 5x.
Total time: 24:28. Tried to maintain the sprint-in-place jump rope style throughout and when I got in the groove I motored through it. The LHS were the hardest part by far.
Designed an impromptu workout to work on my bikemanship:
Total time: 18:17. My bikemanship needs a lot of work.
Repeat 4x
Total time: 7:45. I was short on time and I seem to have lost my gymboss in Hawaii, so I gave this one another crack. My double unders felt better than last time, but the pushups were awful. Sets of 10 and 5 after the second set, just like last time.
Previously: 9:30 on 8/23/08.
AMRAP in 20 minutes.
I finished 16 full rounds…I think (I’m a terrible counter). The v-ups were the toughest part here - felt really good on the pushups and the sprints.
Did this at the track at McCarren Park because I was encouraged by the talk of this being the warmest day of the year. The original plan was to do the Interval Challenge, but that Top Chef high-rise blocked out the sun on half of the track and it was still covered with snow, so 400m sprints were right out. Oh, and it was still cold as fuck.
