3/26/20; 8 x 1/4s

For time:
8x 1/4 miles

Protocol:
Each 1/4 mile is an all out effort. Rest period is equal to your run time. Log total time as your result.

Total time: 19:15 (7:00 of rest)

Warm up- 1/4 mile jog, followed by the usual protocol of 10s.

WOD- Nothing surprising here. Run all out at every 1/4. I was turning in decent times for the first few rounds (1:20 - 1:25). After that, I gassed. I was turning in 1:30-1:35 in the last rounds. Total suck. Winded and gassed. No technique or strategy was employed in this WOD. Just push as hard as I can. That's all about you can do with these WODs.

We had to modify the WOD, after we discovered that it's just too hard to calculate the rest cycle in between rounds. We went with the minute rest because it's a nice even number and the rest is minimal enough to derive an aerobic benefit from the WOD. Great effort by Doug and the wife. They cranked through the 1/4s and pushed really hard right through to the end.

Looking forward to resting this weekend and hitting the road to TN next week. While I'm in TN, it's Tabatas, running sprints, and gymnastic WODs all week.

3-2-1...GO!
