Parkour as a self-limiting interval generator...

Warm-Up: 3 Rounds

1:00 QM

10 Lunge with a twist , each side

10 Broad Jumps  

5 Samson Stretch , each side 

Workout:

This workout features what I call Parkour intervals. If the weather is currently too crappy to train outside, you can sub jump-rope or burpees for the appropriate times.

Find an area anywhere from 20-50m long, with assorted obstacles. Start at one end of your path, and make a run through at about 50% max speed. Repeat going the other way. At each pass, ramp up the intensity until you are at around 90% speed, this is your workout pace.

You will perform 10 intervals of 1:00 each with :30 seconds rest in-between. Try to vary your movements and paths as you progress, and make as many passes through your chosen envirnonment as needed to reach your time. Keep intensity as close to 100% as possible while still staying smooth and fluid.

I stepped up the QM in the warmup to 3:00, just because that's how I do, with stair and balance excercises. 
 
I like this workout! It got me tired very quickly. The only problem was that I fell into a rut, as far as varying paths and techniques, as there are always one or two routes that are better than the others. 
 
Other than that, favorite WOD.

I haven't done the quadrial pedial movement in a while, it was refreshing. Since it is bad conditions over here i had to opt for the burpees. Just a side note, I'M DONE WITH FINALS and i tottally kicked their ass!
