A Sneaky Little Met Con Workout

Today has been my day off work which means one thing - two training sessions!

This morning I ran a lovely 2 hour session, covering 12 miles over hilly off road terrain. Sun was out, hardly anyone around, magical.

Then much later in the day a little bit of kettlebell work to keep on top of my strength and conditioning.

Met Con

Once complete the round was repeated but with 8 clean and press each side, then 6, 4, and 2 reps each arm respectively.
The Kettlebell swings and box jumps remained at 20 reps and 10 reps throughout.
