Mile & Muscle Challenge

WARM-UP:         Do 10 min. of a brisk walk/light jog.

The Workout:    Time to test your reserves (and tenacity!).  The goal is simple – improve on your mile time and push-up time when your body is already pre-fatigued.  This workout is a good measurement to see if your training program is paying off.  Make sure you work as hard as you can each time to get an honest appraisal.

THE EXERCISES:

Run/Walk 1 Mile as fast as you can and record your time.

Rest/Recover 5 minutes at a slow speed

 Run/Walk 1 mile and beat your 1^st mile by at least 10 seconds.

Do 25 Push-ups for time and beat your time by at least 5 seconds
