Workout Strategy and Flow

  • Run – I am excited to give us time domains that have different effort levels. This is a great way to get to know yourself and test your different “gears”. Be cautious of not sprinting the fast paces. We want to be sure you can still recover from the fast paced runs since those are in the middle of the workout.
  • No Push Up Burpees – we have already done some horizontal pushing this week and have our pressing endurance r-test tomorrow, so we have omitted the push up from our burpee today. If you find these no-push up burpees to be “too easy” consider forcing a jump back and jump up out of that plank position to make it a bit more difficult.

Substitution

  • Run –> even if you feel like you aren’t great at running, I would like for you to run. Here are some options:
    • 1) You can alternate back and forth between running 30 seconds, and walking 30 seconds for the duration of the runs.
    • 2) You can choose to do easy efforts across all time domains.
  • IF you cannot run due to injury, you can complete the same time domain and efforts for High Knees OR Standing Marches.
