- Push Ups – this should be done in a tempo of 2121 which means 2 seconds down, pause for 1 second at the bottom, 2 seconds up, pause for 1 second at the top.
- Ideally for the second part of this strength work, you hold for the entire 10 seconds and transition yourself straight from the bottom of the hold into the top. If you HAVE to take a break and shake it out, do it quickly.
- If you need scaling options for these two things, see below in the ‘substitution’ section
- Bottom of Push Up Hold

Athletes Notes
Workout Strategy and Flow
- The workout isn’t going to start until 6-7-8-9. So don’t come out sprinting here. We want to be sustainable in the “easier” first parts so we can be ready in the last part.
- Jumping Lunge – this is going to start out easy but as the rounds go on, the lunge reps are going to get tougher. Keep in mind that 1 rep is left leg + right leg
- Run: only 100m, but over the course of the workout it will add up to 900m total. Let’s aim to keep each round a 30 second run. Even as the quads/hamstrings start to fatigue. NOTICE: you complete a 100 after each round…that includes the set of 9. So you end on the run.
- With the workout increasing in reps, this will be a bit of a mental challenge as well.
