Easy 5 Mile Run

Jumped into the CF class today... it was a longer partner workout, which was nice after the Holiday ... enjoyed getting this in and moving and sweating.

A.
2 RFT, with a partner, partners can work at the same time, but only on the same movement:   
50 Kettlebell Swings (53/35#) 
50 Box Jumps (24/20 in)
50 Air Squats
50 Push-Ups
50 Pull-ups
50 Burpees
50 Sit-Ups
50 Row (calories)
50 Power Cleans (95/65#)
50 Wall Ball Shots (20/14#)
50 Deadlifts (95/65#)
50 Push Press (95/65#) 

-This took about 37 minutes ... don't remember the exact time ... but this was a partner workout, but it was really just a single person workout doing the 25 reps each round, but limited by your partner's pace ... overall got some solid aerobic conditioning out of this and moved through it at about an 80% effort ... fun / lower stress gym session.
