Tearing Up The Tabata's

Greetings,

Monday afternoon, I decided to dig into some files of mine and give a look at some programs I purchased a long time ago. One of them was the Kettlebell Metabolic Resistance Training program from Chris Lopez, a Turbulence Trainer who specializes in Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training method. After seeing a 4x/week plan of his for 4 weeks, I decided to give it a try. The first workout lasted 20 minutes and it seems that most of the workouts are around that time frame. That will work great for me and my schedule. I plan do to workout #2 this afternoon.

My workout this morning was a Tabata series of 2 cycles of hard/easy intervals.

It was a 16 minute run total, getting 2.25 miles in. Here's how it went:
4 minutes easy
4 minutes of 20s hard, 10s easy x 8.
I turned around, then continued with:
4 minutes easy
4 minutes: 20s hard, 10s easy x 8.

I haven't done Tabata's with my running in a long time, so I wasn't sure what to expect, other than handling the 4 minute Tabata intervals well since I have been doing speed sessions lately.

Coffee choice today is the generic brand of Arabica coffee out of my K-cup maker. Later on, I'll get some more OG Black Gourmet.
