I forgot how much I enjoyed running…
For the last six weeks every Tuesday  we have been doing running workouts, which I have thoroughly enjoyed and hated at the same time.
I honestly believe there is nothing harder than sprinting, and I mean truly and honestly going balls out hard, a 400m dash. It’s actually scary and gives me a little anxiety when I think about it… Even now sitting in my room I can imagine lining up at the starting line and getting ready to go and just gives me the butterflies.
I know you can run anytime on your own and that you don’t need a gym to do it, but there is something about running with a group of people who share a similar hardworking mindset, that you really can’t get anywhere else.
Long story short, don’t skip out on the running WODs. They truely are amazing. Matt is a fantastic running coach (and easy on the eyes) and he has been helping all of us improve our running technique.
If that doesn’t get you fired then just think about where you will be when the zombie apocalypse comes… you don’t always need to outrun the zombie, just the person next to you.
If you dig the running WODs or you hate them leave me some feedback in the comments… they may end up being a short cycle or something we stick with for a while.
