Notes
Distance wise, that is easily the furthest I've ever pushed the sled. I'm fairly confident in the distance because I push the sled in a parking lot with spaces. Measure one space and its easy to add up the rest. 60 yards x 30 runs = 1800 yards, or 5400 feet. Just over a mile. And at the end of it all, I felt fine. I just felt like I had a nice, long, sustained training session. Conditioning.
Around the 20th run I started to feel some euphoria. The sun was setting, the temperature dropping, I felt solid as fuck. I love sweating in the cold. And as the darkness set in, the park lamps came on, flooding the lot with a yellow hue.
For me, I experience the most personal growth during these types of sessions. They build a different type of strength. Its not about the weight. There is no one out there to impress. One might say its about self-affirmation, but its not. Its just about doing it because thats what you do.
