Lunges & Burpees - Dead Legs

Today the focus was on Lunges and this time I made sure that I started at the 200 meter start line. I started at 10 lunges and progressed each set by 1 until I made it to 20, then down to 17 by the time I hit 200 meters. I am ready for 300 meters.

After hitting a peak of 120 burpees in less than 12 minutes I had taken a step back to 70 in 7. This time I did 80 in 8. 

To make reasonable progressions I am going to need to do 90 burpees in 9 minutes and cut back lunges to 100 meters. Then do 300 meters of lunges followed by the 90 burpees in 9 minutes. That is the game plan.

For the second day in a row my legs gave out on me when I was running home. Yoga tomorrow, run & body weight strength on Thursday, run/burpees/lunges on Friday, yoga Saturday, big hill run Sunday. Hopefully I will be ready for it.
