Spartan Posts the Workout Of the Day on their facebook page. Yesterday, just 2 days after heavy Deadlift, I did this workout. It was fun for me.
This past Saturday with hurricane Irene bearing down on New York City I set up into Hudson River Park to do the Spartan race workout of the day. It was broken down into those going long and those not going as long the workout was either 8 to 10 miles with 20 burpees( each mile or 12 to 16 miles with 10 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxah7HxCFbg&feature=player_embedded) each mile.
Here is the route that I took. I warmed up from point a to point B to point where I started the workout with 20 Burpees and set off for point C. Point C only did 15 burpees, as soon as I set off away from them I really felt like a pansy.
I managed to force all 20 Burpees at the remaining points. When I got to point age I did my 20 Burpees except point G where I did not find grass. At point G, I did 4 rounds: 5 squat thrusts and 6, 7, 8 and 9 push-ups.
At Point H I did 10 Burpees, 50 meter Bear Crawl and 10 more burpees. I finished with a 100 m grass crawl on my elbows.
I was wiped out but I found a new place in myself, I learned something about myself on this workout. I learned that I can push myself past the point where my mind says "Stop". I found that if I pushed myself past that 15th Burpee I wasn't going to stop until 20. You can use your workouts to effect true change: "Change comes through movement". When you do a workout that breaks you down, you come back stronger- more capable.
