Covered even more than last HIIT - 800 yards!
You can follow my daily updates here on Geek2Freak, and you can follow my overall weekly recaps every Sunday at FitBuff.com.
Also, for my daily updates from before this blog was born, check here: Personal Daily Workout Log (June 4, 2007 - July 17, 2008).
(I recommend perusing October 2007 and the following several weeks, as those were especially turbulent times, including major jaw surgery, being wired shut, and losing nearly 20 pounds in 7 days!)

Workout Journal Notes
It was a perfect day for HIIT sprints, right around 70 degrees, and the fields were nice and dry, so no more sloshing around today.
I walked off roughly 100 yards, but my measurements are never perfect, so I just make sure I’m consistent with the spot that I pick, even though it could be anywhere from 95-105 yards.
Since the sprints were longer than usual today, I jogged back for about 20 yards after each sprint, then walked the other 80 yards, while I recovered in time for the next sprint.
This worked out to about 60 seconds between each sprint, and I completed 8, so I was very pleased with the results.
In total, that’s even more than Saturday’s 12 60-yard sprints (720 yards to today’s 800 yards).
I’m going to keep rotating the distances to mix things up with each workout.
Tomorrow is back to “Maximum Strength,” but thankfully, no more clusters this week!
