It is about 30 degrees Celsius outside today in Vancouver, and I took professional photographer and incredibly fit individual Rob Daly (www.robdaly.com) for a run/workout around the seawall. We have done this workout a few time before but never in this heat, which is perfect because Rob is in training to participate in the Half Ironman Triathlon in Cancun at the end of September. We met at Science World and I loaded my backpack up with Rob’s water and Gatorade and the rest of the equipment for our workout (medicine ball and resistance band). Rob was going to run the seawall while I biked and set up stations for him along the way. Following is Rob’s workout:
· Run from Science World to the stairs below the Cambie St. Bridge and Sprint up and Down
· Run to the little hill just before Monk’s and perform 30seconds of Lo to Hi Chops on each side and 10 burpees
· Run to Charleson park and perform 10 Medicine Ball twist and throws and 10 burpees
· Run to Granville Island and perform 10 box jumps and 10 burpees
· Run to the Nautical Museum and perform 15 Russian Twists and 10 burpees
· Run to Kits Beach basketball courts and run 4 sets of suicide sprints with half recovery time between and finish off with 10 jump pullup leg raises
· Run back to Science world hitting all of the same stops along the way
It was an incredibly tough workout but Rob nailed and is looking good to complete his first Half Ironman Triathlon. If you would like to try this workout find a partner and go for it, but be sure to follow Andrews tips for exercising in the sun (http://blog.stayfitanywhere.com/?p=274).
Enjoy the Fireworks tonight,
