re: What was your least favorite workout in high school sports

complete with whistle burpees throughout the run

I forgot about those. We would try to sprint as fast as we could because if you got to the other goal line you would have less burpees to do. It always alternated between burpees and belly flops. Run, whistle blows and hit your stomach and stand back up, and keep doing them until the whistle blew again, and then it was back to running.

I also forgot about poles. They were used for discipline. Missing a practice, or something else discipline worthy. Like getting in a fight at practice. They had two full length telephone poles laid end to end in the grass outside the track. You had to jump them back and forth from one end to the other. One trip down and back was 1. The trip back had to be done jumping over them backwards. They were usually sets of 5 or 10. Your thighs and calves would ache for days.
