BOOTCAMP at last


International BOOTCAMP Number One

Last night while planning the next leg of our adventures in the hostel’s funky common room, we met our first group of keen bootcampers. Speaking of our plan for an early morning run was a language all of them understood and practiced fluently. We met Ben from Melbourne AUS, Sam from Oklahoma USA, and Martijn from Holland at 6am in the lobby and set out with a partial map and camera in hand. Here is the workout we enjoyed!
Run 3.5km from Mosaic House Hostel north along the river, across Charles bridge, to the John Lennon wall, and then race up the stairs again to the Charles bridge. Run towards the Castle up the long hill and stairs, and into the courtyard.
BOOTCAMP BREAK
Tabata Drill: (20s on 10s off) x 8. Alternate between plyometric lunges and mountain climbers.
Group Pushup: One at a time, each person does 10 pushups. When you are not doing pushups you must hold a plank position.
Run 3.5 km back to Mosaic House (appreciate the downhill and intricate cobblestone!) and catch your train to Munich (us), plane to Croatia (Ben and Martijn) or a train to Vienna (Sam).


We wish we had met these guys earlier – they were super friendly, fit, and would be fun to travel with! Best of travels boys and enjoy the sun in the south!


PS Yes we are sporting our Prague pub crawl t-shirts, gym boss interval timer, and GPS watch "Bev." Boy Scouts motto: Be Prepared!
