city wod

wod:
AMRAP 10
one trip up stairs, jog 20m and back with a pair of 16kg kb's
rest whilst partner goes.
total=5 rounds each (1min per round)

Did this wod in the city with my good friend vini. He was keen for a wod so i met him at his, grabbed his kettlebells and went looking for somewhere to exercise! Didnt have much time but i wanted to do something with stairs and remembered these steep set of stairs behind his apartment that were perfect. Warmed up, 3,2,1..go vini went first carrying the kb's in the rack, went as fast as he could go up and down about a 55sec pace, gave the kb's to me and rested whilst i went. We tried to keep the pace under a minute each time so that we could get 5 rds in each but slowed down abit ended up around 10:15sec. This was surprisingly more taxing aerobically than i thought it would be. was breathing pretty hard when we were done. 1min rest was just enough to recover and go hard again. Again was fun to do a wod in the urban environment, there was a 10km fun run down the road that the 'barefoot bandits' Match and doza ran in, i could see hundreds of people making there way to this organised event and whilst im glad they are making an effort on a sunday morning to run a fair distance, most of them will see exercise as something that has to be organised in a mass event such as a fun run for them to be motivated enough to do it. I couldnt help thinking i much prefer my kind of exercise! spontaneous, short, intense, done anywhere anytime. No crowd or organisation needed. just a desire to work hard.
