Gym Loops crush me-
I am having difficulty maintaining that high intensity on the stairs versus a 400m sprint. Id be interested to see times for 400m on the road. Might mix it up (constantly vaired) next 400m.

Thoughts?

Gym loops suck!
A 6 minute improvement from January, my first Helen.

11:52 with 35 lb. KB sub and my pull-ups were hot garbage after the first couple. The blue band got me through. The gym loop was my favorite part.

after a week off I wasn't carrying the same amount of lactic acid as those who did MON and TUES' workouts

Brutal at 1330 - 94degrees in Arvin.

I agree with Nick B, the stairs are a different kind of intnsity than a full-on run. They still have a huge effort and power output on the upstairs, but I think the downstairs portion is not very intense if you're being safe and trying not to do a face plant.

A great location for "Helen" is at a track with rings hung from the field goals, or at a pull up bar just off the track. KB's right next to pullups. We have that exact facility in the field house (with dumbells in the cage) or at Shea Stadium (if we bring our own KB's).
