I had to put a quick post up on my latest workout. I did one of the newest hero workouts Jared. This was pretty brutal. Plus I did it outside in the middle of August in San Marcos, CA around noon. It didn't take much to start sweating, but I probably would have been drenched if I did this workout in December. This workout consisted of 4 rounds of time of:
Run 800m
40 Pull Ups
70 Push Ups

You can do the math, but that is a lot of pull ups and push ups. I'm still working on my kipping pull ups. I did this at home and my pull up bar is not very hard. It is pretty tough doing a kip when your knees just about touch the ground during your hang.
My total time was 51:11. I was really trying to break 50 minutes but just couldn't do it. The first 800m I did while pushing my son Davis. It wasn't too bad but the beginning of the run is a pretty steep hill that would wear me out for the rest of the run. I have to admit there were a few times I wanted to give up and just do 3 rounds. I could easily think of an excuse why I should stop. Thankfully I made it all the way through. Good thing I did this on a Sunday and could relax for the rest of the day.
When I'm at home doing my workouts I add a few extra movements in there to help me get better. At home I do a few sets of KB Windmills and Hanstand Push Ups. I'm not great at either so I know I can use the extra work. Plus by the time I get through them I feel ready to go for the WOD.
