Hey guys! Sounds like everyone’s doing awesome!! I did a 15min tabata this morning followed by the WOD scaled for puppies in 7:30. I was a bit pooped from the tabata but I feel awesome!
How do you mark of 25 meters? 400 meters is one lap on a highschool track. How many feet to step off (I wear size 12 works well when measuring)?
When I’m marking out a appropriately-sized ultimate field, I just walk with long steps. If you’re as tall as me, 6’2”, then a slightly longer step is about 1 meter (my gait is a little over 90cm). One day, when you get the chance, mark off 10 meters (should be easy to do with a ruler) and then walk that distance a few times, counting your steps, and averaging your number of steps. Remember that number of steps and you’ll always be able to pace out any distance for your WODs.
Puppies:
Three rounds for time of:
Walking lunge, 50 meters
Standing broad-jump, 50 meters
Run 200 meters
Deleted 50 meters from the jump. My kids kept jumping with me and I was afraid I was going to run into them. Chasing my son helped make the run breeze by though.

15min of TABATA? Was that with several exercises? In general, the Tabata protocol is 1 movement for 8rds with 20sec ON and 10sec OFF; that’s 4min for the whole shebang. You can string together multiple movements like “Tabata Something Else”, but those are WODs in themselves…
I don’t doubt you were tired, 2 WODs in a row
Three rounds for time of:
Walking lunge, 50 meters
Standing broad-jump, 100 meters
Run 200 meters
17:46
Marked off 50M in the hallway, lunges were a bit shallow (no kiss) due to the tile floor, my broad jump just plain sucks, and the first 2 runs should have been harder… I did kick it in on the last 200. Not much of a warm-up today… GHD and EXT and some stretching. I gotta wake up earlier…
Can’t hit a Stregth WOD in the afternoon, gotta catch the bus for a dual right after school
Est. 20:21 (watch stopped for about two minutes, who the hell knows, I was not tearing it up anyway)
Out:
10 Pullups
90 sec plank
10 Pullups
Turns out my driveway is right just over 25 meters. I measured it off with a tape and marked it with chalk - good to know. I have been marking the lawn in the past but too much snow today.
Poor effort today. My bottle is full. I need a rest week. Next weekend is forced rest so I am going to tough it out until then, take 3 days off and come back after MLK Day.
Still new to the movement so did not do crazy weights or anything tried to work on form…. I think everyone at the YMCA thought Britt and I were crazy, using free weights for something other then benching and arm curls.
Britt- 45-55-65-75-85(F)-75 (Britt had a little trouble with the form but understood it by the end.)
Paul- 65-85-105-125-125-125-125 (I stayed at 125 because I was trying to get under it and do it one fluid motion.)
I think my 50m and 25m distances were a bit off (did more than less)
16:25 - what the heck was that?!? Broad jumps killed. Would like to do this one again. As always get some weird stares in the basement at work where I work out. Had to dodge a few people too. Good times. Good times.
