Weight vest burpee x 5 AFAP
Weight vest sprints 50m
rest walk 2-3 min bt sets
I think this was the first time ever doing weight vest burpee ever. Sprints at this distance felt good, much further and it would’ve been a bigger game changer.

Run 90 sec @ 90% aerobic pace
rest walk 45 sec
had to take circuitous routes so I was constantly up and down the terrible hill. It was around 7 that the mental challenge was present. But the phycial challenge of running mechanics wasn’t truly felt until set 9/10. Not knowing total overall distance covered but average heart rate was around 150, that average is in included w/the walking test time.

Hypoxic drills x 6 sets
Gentle nose breathing x 4-5 cycles, end on a small gentle breath in and small gentle breath out, then pinch nose.
Walk calmly and naturally with the breath hold as many paces as you can until the air hunger starts to kick in or you feel your neck muscles twitch to try to restart breathing rhythm, at which point you will stop walking and resume gentle nose breathing. Try to recover normal breathing rhythm within 2-3 breaths, if unable you probably held a little too long. Don’t push this too much, just to the point of discomfort or natural body reaction, then resume natural breathing through nose. rest 2 min bt sets.
can you say panic. I’m sure this will be improved through more exposure but holy shit this freaked me out a little bit.
