Workout with Chris

My friend Chirs has expressed his desire to build up his cardio and wanted to try some interval training on the treadmill. I met up with him at his gym with Pie along to join in the festivities. He got in a mile run/walk and I pushed for a 2 mile fast run, my last run before the dash this weekend. I managed a 2.16m in 19m15s. Not horrible. I also wanter to try out some calf compression sleeves. Of course Pie and Chris both said I looked like a fool but oh well. My initial impression is that the are well worth the money. My lower legs never felt tired and I actually felt good after my run and WOD. I may look into some compression shorts later on after I continue to give these sleeves a few more weeks. After the run I wanted to ease Chris into a fairly easy WOD so we went with the following:
3 rounds
12 deadlifts 95lbs
9 clean and jerks 95lbs
6 push press 95lbs
I felt good throughout the workout but noticed the WOD from the the day before, Angie, had taken its toll on my forearm strength. My forearms were on fire. Finished the WOD with a helluva good sweat and I think Chris once again hates CrossFit.
