I finally have a piece of wood so I can skip rope outside if I want to.
The grass catches in the rope unless there is something smooth underfoot.
Today I did my double unders workout.
For this I use the Garmin to give me the timings.
10 minutes regular skipping pace to warm up.
20 minutes of double unders done as I can manage them.
10 minutes regular skip again to cool down.
I managed 528 double unders which is an average of around 26 a minute.
It used to be about 20 so they have improved.
I checked out the Heart rate figures afterwards and was surprised to find that the average was 149 and the highest was 163 which is lower than when I am running.
Given the exhaustingness of the double unders, I expected it to be way above 170 which is my very highest on a run so far. I suppose it is because I have to get my puff back before the next batch each time.
I managed 3 consecutive 29'ers and many of the other batches were above 10.
A great workout. If you can do double unders, this really has you feeling it by the end.
