Every Sunday, I attend a boot camp class at the local Bally Total Fitness.
This class kicks my butt. The warm-up consists of running up and down sets of stairs. I’m completely out of breath and exhausted before the class even starts.
One of the activities the instructor has us do is wind sprints. We run as fast as we can back and forth between makeshift cones and we have to touch the ground at each end.
I was so tired today but I pushed myself so hard that I felt like I was going to throw up. I could hardly complete my last set. My exercise-induced asthma also flared up and I had a hard time catching my breath.
I’m looking forward to starting my speed training next week. Hopefully the interval and tempo runs will help me improve on my wind sprints.
