5 pax met at Mandeville City Hall at 5:15 am for the normal jaunt to sunset point.
YHC was inspired by a recent study published by a friend at UAB, and decided to switch things up a bit.
The same route was ran, but it was broken up into 5, 1/4 mile sprints with a slow mosey in between sets.
YHC then challenged the pax to 6 consecutive Thursdays of interval training.
Pretty cool stuff here, basically 1 x per week of HIIT = 5 x per week of Moderate intensity exercise

Oh man that was brutal. Chewy, please, no more inspirational research!
Haha! But according to the results all we have to do is run once a week for the same benefits.
