Schedule Update + Workout Notes

My bad on the mix up. Today (Thursday) is a mobilit day. Just 4:30 session.


Yesterday at the 4:30 and 5:30 sessions we did the workout in two heats, with the help of partner counters. The only thing was, the partners weren't counting reps, they were counting rest.

I left the 5:30 session to go to the basketball camp, but the most common number I heard at 4:30 was somewhere around 2 minutes of rest counted for each person - which means for just over 25% of the workout you were doing nothing. For reference, Tabata has you resting about 1/3 of the total time of the workout. So while yesterday was not written as an interval workout, that, in essence, is how it was treated.

This is... interesting. Sometimes I think just showing reality is a better motivating tool than me trying to build a narrative around what I'm observing. What I'm most curious in is how that number related to your expectation.

Did you rest more than you thought you did? Less? Or was it about what you thought?
