When you first seriously work out after not doing anything for a while, it really kicks your butt.
Keep going.
Running. Running. I remember that when I was in the school, in PhisEd class the teachers had us a test, which was the period exam: Test de Cooper.
They had us run up the «carretera» (road), a rocky way, then go down the green hill to the microfutbol courts, they counted our laps. We had to complete 15 laps in under 15′.
I always finished on the first 10 boys, usually on the 7th place, never last. But only to have so mediocre prize for my ego had me coughing mucus all the day, green and thick mucus, bending over and spitting. «Are you okay?» «Ughhhhh….ughhhh Yes». What I do to not be last.
How I hate spitting. Almost throwing up.
My mouth always gets dry when I run, I really hate it.
When I used to run 10 miles twice a week, I would get really, really, thirsty after runs.
Do you still feel «bazo» or spleen? A weird sensation near the right ribs?
Yes. I feel it mostly in my lower right back, near my ribs.
Although, that could also be due to a failed back flip attempt.
Hopefully it isn’t kidney stones.
So you’re in the German Army, is it right? Do the Drill Sargeants make you do these challenges or are you preparing to enlist?
I’d rather not speak too much of which armed forces I’m in.
As for your other question, the work outs I propose are based on a what I did to prepare for a physical test to get into a military university.
I did not get in, but I have been able to exceed and meet some of the physical requirements, which is not easy. These workouts are different from what is typically advised. In my environment, the PT keeps me in good shape, but doesn’t advance me forward like the workout I suggest does.
