Moderate HIIT

Leave a comment

Back by (very) popular demand we headed to the football field where we ran sprint after sprint after mall walk. The pax selected pre printed instructions from the bucket of running pain and mostly Bass-O won the 100 yard dashes. No hamstring injuries. The watch said 2 miles. Then we retired to the COT but got in a few @airborne hip flexors before the rain came. We missed @rebel but I heard he doesn’t do drizzle.
