So stay hydrated. And warm up really well to acclimate to and to tolerate the heat better.
Here's the fun part:
Sprint, Bike, Swim, OR Row. Choose ONLY 1.
6 x
- 90 Seconds ON; 90 seconds OFF
All-out efforts. Stay consistant.
Here's my advice: Don't just try to "endure" the 90 seconds. Try to beat yourself. See the 90 seconds as a limited window of opportunity to beat your previous run by even an inch. Otherwise, you're just suffering for 20 minutes, and that will suck. HAVE SOME FUN!
Did this work out this morning. Ouch....which translates as: really good level of discomfort, with which I am becoming comfortable.

Louis and I opted to row for this workout and it was certainly a challenge (at least for me). I managed to break 400 meters in intervals 1 and 2, and I hovered around 375 meters for intervals 3 - 6.
ReplyDeleteLeigh and I stationary-biked the workout at level 7--we met or exceeded .5 mile each time even as it got harder at the end. Loved this one!
ReplyDeleteI saved this for my Sonoma trip so I could run among the vineyards, in misty rain at that!
ReplyDeleteI ran the sprints and had a tough time keeping up with the 90 second mark on 3-5. I did a few rounds of push ups-sit ups-squats to make up for the time I fell back!
On the row machine, with resistance set at 7:
ReplyDelete390 m, 352 m, 350 m, 327 m, 338 m, 337 m.
according to the screen: total distance 2202m (??)
This kicked my behind... especially after the Bruin walk sprints!!!!
