Never Miss a Monday is always my mantra and my wife Tiffany is usually right there with me - like today. This morning's workout definitely was a day we both had to be there, because the template was about partnership.
Today's Partner workout included SIX 7 minute rounds. One partner was the pacer - the goal was to get back to the station that the the pacer was originally on. The other partner is the Non-Pacer who stays at the station until the first pacer tags the non-pacer.
Honestly, I'm not fond of partner workouts, but it helps a heckuva a lot when I already have a partner who workouts with me at Orangetheory Fitness and it happens to be my wife. On occasion if one or the other wasn't able to make a workout then we have to deal with what you hope for is someone familiar to be your partner.
Did I mention, that today was the third day of "ALL OUT MAYHEM"?
YES! We are three days into the "All Out Mayhem" seven-day fitness challenge, which is designed to push us to our limits adding some extra intensity outside of we usually do when we do our regular sessions most of the week and weekends.
Orangetheory is a High Intensity Interval Training workout or HIIT and challenges like these are set up for members to put all the hard work to the test and see how much we have adapted to the HIIT sessions. It's also fun as heck.

Got under 700 calories burned with 674, my splat points was almost non-existent with one way off the 12+ mark, totaled 1.6 miles in little over 15 minutes combined, but did hit 11.1 miles per hour in speed just to keep myself relevant lol.
Did the same on the rower, by hitting 418 watts of power although under 13 miles per hour in speed, but rowed a total of 3,252 meters in 13:31 total time.
Not spectacular numbers, but Run to Rows will definitely help keep those numbers lower. Thay were actually not so bad today, because it's "All Out Mayhem" and the splat deficiency is probably the only thing I walked out lamenting about. It's almost a given at this point I'll need to replace the core used for the OTBeat.
