6-9 Challenge; 1.5 mi

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite workouts, especially because it incorporates speed and it's challenging.
  • 1-mile warm up: 3:54 and 3:44 for each half mile (7 is much easier to remember than 14)
  • 6-rep rounds:
  1. 1-minute skipping
  2. 6 burpies
  3. 1-minute skipping
  4. 6 Russian lunges (right leg first; my knee hit the ground [ouch!] on one, but that's WAY better than last time I tried to do these right)
  5. 1-minute skipping
  6. 6 tuck jumps
  7. 1-minute skipping
  8. Six 15-m sprints (or close; again, I paced out 20; each lap is appx. 85 meters, which means that 15 meters would be about 1/5 of a lap. I figured this out after I was done, so I'll have to pace out 1 lap, divide that by 5, and I'll be set.)
  • Total time: 10:34
  • Approximately 2-minute rest interval
  • 9-rep rounds
  1. 1-minute push ups (42, all on knees)
  2. 9 burpies
  3. 1-minute push ups (23)
  4. Plyometric lunges
  5. 1-minute push ups (25)
  6. 9 tuck jumps
  7. 1-minute push ups (21; total push ups: 111)
  8. Nine 15-m sprints
  • Total time: 12:43
  • Approximately 2-minute rest interval
  • 6 Russian lunges (left leg first): I had to repeat 1 because I didn't land correctly (but my knee did not hit the ground)
  • 0.5-mi cool down: 3:57 (hardly a cool down compared to my first mile)
Since my usually-20-minute drive took an hour and I had Inversion Bible Study, that was about all I had time for besides some core work and stretching.
