Strongman and Trail Running in NB MT101


Strongman
4 rounds
4 wall ascents (6 foot 5 inch wall)
7 tire flips
7 sledgehammer swings on tire (per side)
Completed in less than 7 min
3x100m prowler sled pushes working up to 110 lbs plus weight of sled
Trail Running
20 min of long intervals around 4-5 min with minimal rest
Reflection
The strongman was a fun workout. I climbed the wall, flipped the tire, and did some sledgehammer swings (for the first time). I then did some prowler pushes which were a real butt and quad burner. Later on in the day I ran through Ridley Creek State Park on a narrow trail of rolling hills in my new New Balance MT101 trail running shoes. They should be good to run on asphalt as well. They are comfortable as HELL!
Quote of the Day
“We live in a world marked by violence, and if we want to protect others, we sometimes have to be willing to fight. We all understand at the most basic level that caring requires strength as well as compassion.”
~Eric Greitens in his book The Heart and the Fist
