Saturday - first day training with real farmer's walks
So, in light of my injury, I planned on just taking the new implements for a little spin. Well, once I got out there I was having WAY TOO MUCH FUN to take it easy, so I did a little more than I planned.
It's tough to find a nice open, not crowded area when you live in a city, so I went to a local filed behind a school at about 7am, hoping it would be pretty empty. The field I used:
Did some laps and then sprints to warm up. Then started off with some wrist rollers and some reps on the COC #1 (gotta have the D&D coffee!):
Then started with the farmer's walks. Wanted to keep it light, so just used the implements without adding weight.
Started off with some long distance walks. basically just walked as far as I could before tiring. Probably ended up 80-100 yards. Then did some long distance walks with turns and walking back. (during rest periods I did more wrist rollers and some COC work). Then did some long distance jogging with the implements and added in some turns. Finally ended with some all out sprints, which really did me in. The field was muddy as hell so footwork was difficult, and having water and mud fly all over the place is always fun.
I was having way too much fun, so I decided to throw on some 45 plates and do some harder work in the parking lot.
this definitely tested me. tough on the grip, the core, the legs, the forearms, the shoudlers. you name it, heavy f walks hit it.
hands torn up a bit:
Muddy ass shoes:
overall, this was the funnest day I have had training in a while. can't wait to get my sled (hopefully soon). seriously - this shit gets me pumped like nothing else in life. plus the looks I got from the random housewives going for a morning jog were funny as hell!
