Today, 4 men worked on their cardio-endurance at the Ridge Road Elementary track field. The temperature was great, but the humidity was very high. There was no small amount of sweating! While running is NOT YHC’s favorite thing, we kept running down to the bare minimum with this cardio-heavy leg-heavy workout. Sprint training is good for building endurance, so it went something like this:
