Switched up the conditioning test for my basketball team from a 2 mile run to 22 x 22's. I ran this when I played Division 1 basketball  weighing 220. It was as tough as I remember it. Very pleased that I was able to complete all 22 x 22's. Pushed through some mental boundaries.

I am as strong as I was playing D1 basketball while being 20lbs lighter and can complete the same conditioning work that I was able to do 8 years prior. I have also been able to improve my mobility and stability. I did not eat during the day (normal) so ran it on an empty stomach and also under hydrated. Being able to complete it while maintaining a crazy work and family life makes this all the more satisfying.
