TT 1 Mile

TT stands for "time trial" which means "see how fast you can do it". You are racing against yourself. If you have not done a one mile time trial yet, this will be a good benchmark. If you follow the program you will see your Time Trial results improve over time.

You may have also noticed that I started including the endurance WOD. You should always do the main WOD, the endurance WOD is optional depending on what your goals are. I do the main WOD at 6am and the Endurance WOD sometime after 6pm. We are on a 3 days on, 3 days off schedule. I will start posting the rest days as well... maybe with some fun nutrition facts or word of encouragement! Fun!

WOD
  • 1 mile TT (running)
recover
  • max push ups - 2 minutes
  • max sit ups - 2 minutes
  • max air squats - 2 minutes
Focus on your form. Push ups - chest to the ground. Sit ups - shoulder blades to the ground, head to knees. Air squats - your butt should go down to about 12" above the ground (below your knees).

Endurance WOD

Cover as much distance as possible in each of the 2 intervals.

    I didn't do the TT, but I just want to remind everyone that the standing family record for the mile is 5:24.

  3. I got a 5:59 mile but we had stops and starts as part of the course. I have a feeling that at some point I will beat Ads' record...
