Jacobs Ladder Workout...

Anyone serious about getting fit and/or training outdoors in Perth needs to get to Jacobs Ladder and take on the challenge of the stairs.
Forecast 37 degrees in Perth today so I got up to Jacobs ladder this morning and began at 8.53 am (not that anyone was counting minutes). 

Huge workout, managed to crank out eight ladders in total. Full workout duration was 37 minutes, time spent actually working (i.e. running, walking, crawling up stairs) was around 9 minutes so my work:rest ratio was around 1:3.

I did this same workout 5 days back, it took me 40 minutes all up so I managed to shave three minutes off the previous time. I don't want my workout to take any longer than 40 mins so I'm now trying to run Jacobs 8 times in less time rather than add more volume to the workout.
