Solo session

Yesterday I was off work sick so didn't run.  Tonight's TM group session was cancelled due to torrential rain and it was so tempting to not train tonight either.  I was feeling pretty stressed out... actually very stressed out and at times like these I feel like crawling into my shell.  Having an event that scares the bejezus out of me and that I've already registered for and having a team I don't want to let down all motivated me to do a session tonight by myself.  This is unheard of for me.  Strangest session ever though as I cried through most of it.  Not so much tough mudder as tough blubber.

Session as follows (2 mins of each unless stated otherwise):

  • Skipping
  • Stairs (up and down our internal stairs)
  • Knee push up with full side plank (alternating sides)
  • 6kg Kettlebell squats (Swing the weight up to about eye level in a fully upright position with control whilst standing up.)
  • Lunges alternating legs
  • Upright row using dynaband around stairwell post
  • Sideways shuffle touching ground on each side
  • Knee push up with single arm row (holding light weight)
  • Alternating lunges holding 6kg kettle bell with twist
  • Squats with shoulder press using light weight
  • Incline (full) push ups using back of the couch 
  • Mountain climbers (In the pushup position, rapidly bring each knee towards chest, as if sprinting in place)  I find these really hard so had to keep stopping for breath
  • Dynaband "chin up" (sort of like a lat pulldown but with the arms in chin-up position not lat pulldown position
  • Forearm plank (held for 30 secs x 4)
  • Alternating forearm side planks (held for 15 secs each side x 2)
  • Squats holding 6kg kettle bell
Stretching

It was hard.  I don't like training by myself but I'm pleased I did it.
