Today's workout had a definite theme   

I wanted to do some functional work today rather than max lift, agonist or exhaustion workout. That's because I've got to be #SpartanRace ready and need to ensure I can lift and shift, but conserve energy for later obstacles.

The sandbag carry is 27kg/60lb, the bucket carry is 36kg/80lb. The atlas ball is 45kg/100lb (all weights are approximate) so I'm feeling a little more confident with the first two at least. I've managed the first two before, but failed at the ball because I couldn't get a good grip.

I did a 10k run this morning then straight after had to head to boot camp for the 1 hour session, which was in a 10-1 format but I couldn't for the life of me tell you the exercises because my brain has run out of oxygen.

Anyway aside from becoming That Wanker, the reason for doing it was to prove to myself I could do the #SpartanRace in May as I've been psyching myself out over the idea of a 10k/30 obstacle Super, knowing that the 5k/25 obstacle Sprint was *the* hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

Having done an "easy" run with a "hard" run tacked on for the last 25% (walking intervals around every 1k for ~10s, but some bad inclines at the end) and then going straight into a mixed cardio/weight circuit - although it isn't the kind of weights we have to haul at Spartan - I feel *much* more confident now that I won't fall flat on my face; which is the lowest bar I've set for myself in completion.
