some anaerbic conditioning in the last days

Throwing a 5kg medicine ball around, sprint after it. Did i last 10 minutes or only 5?

By the way, everyone should see this promo video from the Kyoto University Judo Club, it is incredible. It was filmed at the old Butokuden dojo, hopefully we will find it.
