Just to add to my earlier post.
While I tried my darndest to keep good form, fatigue inevitably let me down. If I felt that my next rep was going to suffer technique wise, I paused briefly to regain conciousness, er, I mean my breath, and then carry on. To be fair though, in this particular matrix it was getting very tough to do good form from about the lunge onwards
One side note though. Even though I know how tough this was, I am looking forward to doing it again. Rather than simply go through it to see what it was like, I made the grave error of actually timing myself. This means I now
have to do it again to beat my time. But the great thing is the pay-off you get from over-coming the mental toughness of it. I find the same with hard HIIT; sometimes I get up to do 4 rounds of intervals (60s sprint, 120s recovery) and I am just dying and a part of me is saying "stop - you're mad" and another part is urging me on to overcome the inner demons. By the way, why doesn't HIIT training get any easier?
Thanks to Dos and Chaney for the interchanges; I've enjoyed reading your posts.
