22 June
Grass Shuttle Runs
Levels 1-7 (2 mins) Level 8 (1 min) Level 9 (1 min) Level 10 (2 mins)
Level 8-9.5, 8-9.8, 8-9.5, 8-9.5 (3 mins, 2.5 mins, 3 mins)
I was using the audio from the bleep test to train. I used levels 1-7 inclusive as a warm up, then tried to work out which 2 levels would be a challenge. I really like this approach, unsure on total volume but next time I think 6 runs in total with 3 mins rest seemed good, with each run lasting 90-100 seconds. I was genuinely trying to go as far as possible so it’s a bit depressing that even after a rest I can start at level 8 and only make it to 9.5, when my best this year was lvl 9.11. This was on grass instead of concrete so in that sense it’s not directly comparable.
