Made this circuit up on the spot at my local park. Just brought a towel with me and flung it over a tree and went from there. Effective routine, was knackered after but decided to do a 2 mile run. It wasn't a full speed run as I was fatigued but the whole circuit is worth repeating.

Just so it's compltley clear, points A, B and C were trees around 25m apart, C obviously being 50m from A.

THURSDAY 26th MAY 2011
AM: 10 Mile run
50 Burpees

PM: Strength
- 25 Burpees
- Elevated OAPU: 6x4
- Pull-ups x3: 5, 6, 8, 6, 5
- Dips: 25, 20, 15, 10, 15, 10, 5
- Knuckle Push-ups: 4x25
- 25 Burpees

The run was a good steady state run, nothing too challenging, with 50 burpees at the end for good measure. I remember when i struggled to do 40 in one go, now I am banging out 50 after a 10 miler. That's progress for you.

OAPU is going well, I am just trying to get the form perfect when elevated before I start working at floor level. Fingers crossed it won't be too long. Also decided to up the reps very slightly on the pull-ups, totalling 30 per round, 90 total. Rest is 30 seconds between sets and 2 minutes between rounds.

Was just experimenting with higher reps with the dips. Was orginally going to go from 25 t0 5, decreasing by 5 each time but when I got to 10 reps I thought I would sneak a few extras in. Knuckle Push-ups I struggled with but finished, so all is well there.

Hey man, thanks for that! Whereabouts are you in London?

SATURDAY 28th MAY 2011
- Max Pull-ups: 22
- 50 Burpees in 2:52
- 50 Burpees in *3:30* - see notes

Was supposed to a rest today, but fuck it. Burpees had to be done, so I thought I gauge where I am now while I have nothing else to tire me out. Maxed out at 22 pull-ups, almost got 23 but I wasn't close enough to the bar to give me that one. 2 minutes rest and did a timed 50 burpees, wasn't going balls to the wall, but faster than usual. Somehow managed to reset my whole watch before stopping the timer, but got an eyefull of the time first fortunetly.

Another few minutes rest before the next 50, these weren't at a fast pace at all. Didn't actually time it, but estimated the time based on the song playing on my iPod at the time.

New goals added:
- 30 Pull-ups
-a) 50 Burpees in 2:30 and when accomplished
-b) 100 Burpees in 6:00

The burpees are not a main goal, they are just a vague aiming point seeing as I am in this burpee challenge, I might as well make the most of it.
So a full goal list, with where I am in terms of them in brackets:

1) Achieve 30 consectutive Pull-ups (22)
2a) 2 Miles in 12:00 (12:34)
2b) 3 Miles in 18:00 (19:27)
3) Achieve Standing Wheel Rolllout (Still working with a ramp, but improving steadily)
4) Achieve Strict One Arm Push-up (Working only around 12 inches off the floor with strict reps)
5a) 50 Burpees in 2:30 (2:52)
5b) 100 Burpees in 5:00 (5:59)

**Goal 5b was originally 100 burpees in 6:00 but I've just done it, so edited this post.**

A lot of words here I know, so here's a picture of a monkey and a hippo.

100 Burpees in 5:59
Well, knocked the goal I set yesterday right out the way. Time was legit, I promise, and I actually wasted a few seconds spliting the time at 50 burpees. The watch reset itself again so I didn't get to see what I got at 50, so I won't use that watch again until timex get back to me.
I'll edit the post above with my new goal of 100 burpees in 5 minutes.
