Athlete Notes:
Last workout of the week and it’s a running sh*t sandwich. Hit the run at your mile pace, then come straight in to the burpee box jump overs, your goal is around 30 seconds for each set of 8, give or take, but aim for that. The cleans and front squats should be unbroken movements so come off the burpees, grab them, and hang on. You get 3 minutes to rest so don’t hold back on anything here.
