Now I've shifted back to doing stuff outside (climbing, biking, hiking, running, skiing) to maintain fitness, but still cherry-pick workouts from WODs. Did 10 x (4 pullups/8 pushups/10 lunges) at the end of my 2 mile run today, for example. And <i>Fran</i> is always a favorite go-to workout. But be very careful with the oly lifts and heavy deads. I #$%^-ed up my back with those. I can also recommend hiking around with 50 LBs of body armor and weapons as excellent exercise, having just completed NIACT.

Taken and passed on a couple of occasions. It is actually part of the interview process to hire on as maintenance of way. That is the guys who swing the spike mauls, grunt on lining bars, replace ties and that sort of thing. Everyone should try it. Sounds like a Union Pacific or BNSF physical agility/endurance test.

Max cold water, no hot, get in and soak for 15 min while ingesting 16-24 ounces of sports drink mixed with protien powder. I reccomend Cytomax as a hydration/recovery drink. It costs more than Gatorade, but the G is crap anyway, especially when training for an endurance event. Follow this recovery drill immediately post race as well to avoid extreme soreness and stiff legs. Worked wonders for me when I was training for an iron distance triathlon, and on reace day also. Felt like a million bucks the day after the race, a very different experience from my first marathon. Joe,

AW1, I tried beerobics for a while with questionable results, but certaibly enjoyed the evaluation process.
