After reading my friend and strength coach franz Snidemans workout blog I decided I would implement some tempo runs... i.e. run 100 yards at 70% (approximately) walk ten and then run again and repeat a number of times, an old sprint recovery/form running day.
So, I mixed pull-ups with barefoot tempo runs

Oh boy do I forget what it is like to run and run at a good clip with nice relaxed hands and a good arm swing, eyes and head down, knees pumping, lungs a burning....what a great feeling and a nice mix with all the strength stuff. I really enjoyed the conditioning and was quite surprised with my pull-ups considering I was mixing in the runs. The body feels good and I feel revitalized...now it is time to eat a good meal, protein, veggies, and fats, yummy!
Be Well

And after all that teasing about my mixing in some running...
That's it, this Joe Fitness is a quack. Can't stay consistent with every word he's ever said. (or typed)

Awesome Joe.
