HIIT

HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training

I'm trying to find a race, if anyone would like to help me out...will travel for it if need be :) thank you. 

In the meantime, 

My co-manager Sir James, and I got into a convo about plyometrics today at the store - i used to be way into plyos in high school and the start of college while I was still in my field hockey build. Once I started working out for lax at messiah though i became too intense with these work outs and ended up injuring my knees - so that was the end to that. 

However, I want to try again. Hopefully some time off was all that i needed, because when I work out I love to get my heart rate going as much as I can - runner's high of course. And these help me add the variety I need in order to not get bored with running. 

So:
