Basic training, day 2: Lyon Street stairs

Ouch! Today I had another fun but hard workout with Basic Training. I woke up this morning, crawling out of my bed, my upper thighs were really sore. I guess it doesn’t help to do Bar method in the evening in addition to Basic Training in the morning to avoid soreness…But what do they say??? No pain, no gain!

I met up with Basic Training at 6 am, Michael and Charles were the instructors. Many people joined the class today. We ran up to the Lyon Street stairs. I still fear them but not as much as I did 12 weeks ago…it’s getting better. We ran the bottom stairs a couple of times and the upper ones only once, it was hard but manageable. When we were not running stairs, we did a lot of core- and arm/shoulder workout, mainly doing all kind of different planks and variations of static push ups. Added a few exercises for the abs and some more push ups and you get a great full body workout! It was fun, I liked it. It wasn’t my strongest day ever but considering that I did 2 workouts yesterday it was actually better than expected. The running felt much easier today, probably because we ran so fast yesterday…. Now I just had an egg-white-veggie omelet and a cup of coffee for breakfast, I feel great and I am ready for another day. Bring it on!
