    Odin working back extensions while Tallulah tries for her first muscle up.

    WOD:

    For time:
    21 Hip-Back Extensions
    Run 400 meters
    18 Hip-Back Extensions
    Run 400 meters
    15 Hip-Back Extensions
    Run 400 meters
    12 Hip-Back Extensions
    Run 400 meters
    9 Hip-Back Extensions
    Run 400 meters
    6 Hip-Back Extensions
    Run 400 meters
    3 Hip-Back Extensions
    Run 400 meters

    Is it a conspiracy? Is it a new obsession? Is decrementing by 3 the new black? YES INDEED!

    7 400 meter dashes, 78 hip and back extension, for time. This is going to be a good cardio blast for all of us. We will review the hip-and-back extension for any who are unfamiliar with the movement.

    The running today is all about pushing yourselves hard. We don’t want you going out and pacing yourself down to 10 minute mile pace unless 10 minute mile pace is a pace at which you’re pushing yourself. These are mad dashes to glory, to the body you want, to the level of fitness you want, against whatever demons from your past haunt you… treat them accordingly, and the results will come more quickly.

    “Recognize that competence lies on the other side of slogging failure. Make your preparations, and assault your target, never forgetting that victory is the end state of persistence. “

    The Legendary Jon Gilson

    This work out is great for improving your running skills/time!!! It’s amazing where in the WOD’s you get a burst or blast of energy!! After completing the work out I rowed 1500 meters, ran 3 more 400 meters and did 100 or so sit ups…all for xtra credit!!!!

    That’s what the PLAYGROUND does, pushes you past your limits, cause there are none!! As they say in Finland SISU=Courage Beyond reason!!!
    No shame on the PlayGround!!!!!!

    the running, not quite as horrible as I thought it would be- sure is hard to sit down now instead of falling. Will is a great coach!
