CrossFit Day 8
Today’s workout was a timed exercise: Do as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of a 400 meter run, followed by as many pullups as possible. Right now, as I work on my upper body strength, I’m subbing jumping negative pullups for the real deal. Instead of pushing super hard with residual soreness in my arms and upper back (workout soreness, not injury soreness), I decided to see if I could muster up four rounds with ten negative pullups per round.
Part of the difficulty this evening was the run. My 400 meter runs were across a dark grass field and back, then onto the bar. Unfortunately, the bar six feet above the ground rolls around. So, I worked on the five foot bar. I finished five rounds in all, one more than I expected. That’s 50 negative pullups and about 2100 meters running back and forth across grass. Not bad.
Splits (complete rounds): 3:42, 7:32, 12:10, 16:05, 19:27.
My results: 5 complete rounds in 20:00; HR: 174 avg, 189 max; 341 cal.
