The 400m Air Squat

I decided to go for something a little different today. After my slow-burn hike early this afternoon, I headed out to the track to try circuits. This particular circuit consists of only two events—400 meters around the track and 20 air squats after each lap. The laps: running, walking, jogging, and combination (half walk, half jog). I wasn’t even really going for time. Still, I finished the timed portion in 17:05, which is not very good, but it’s a different kind of workout. I’m fairly sure I’ll be ridiculously sore tomorrow.

This circuit really had me sweating like a dog. I can’t believe how exhausted I was when I left the track and started the cool down walk home. Phew. Dayamn.

Today’s work:

  • Slow Burn Hike: 3.16 mi in 1:00:46 (49:57 in zone); HR 123 avg, 155 max; 575 cal (55%) => 316 cal fat
  • 400m Air Squat Circuit: 17:05 (3:27 in zone); HR 169 avg, 190 max; 284 cal (20%) => 57 cal fat
  • Warm / Cool Walks: 1.72 mi in 29:42 (24:17 in zone); HR 137 avg, 190 max; 336 cal (44%) => 149 cal fat
  • TODAY: 1:47:33 (1:17:41 in zone); HR 137 avg, 190 max; 1195 cal (44%) => 522 cal fat

The scale this morning indicated that I’m eight pounds lighter than I was three weeks ago.

[…] After being sore for a few days from the 400m Air Squat workout, I headed for the track this afternoon. I found a nice pace with the music, tried not to push too hard, and started legging it out. One conclusion: I’m going to need some way to keep my swinging arms from tangling up in my halyard or the headphones. […]
