Running Endurance Option
Every 6 minutes, for 36 minutes (6 sets) for distances of:
4 Minutes of Running

Today’s pacing is up to you, but I would like to see consistent distances with no more than 30-40 meter variation from your first to your final set. This is your opportunity to learn how to moderate your effort levels to maintain consistency over the course of workouts. Think about running smooth at 85% effort or so for the first set, and understand that in order to match your results in each successive interval you’re going to need to work harder as a percentage of effort. Embrace the challenge and discomfort.

Rowing Endurance Option
Four sets for distances of:
4 Minutes of Rowing @ 90-95% of your 2k PR Pace
Rest 60 seconds
3 Minutes of Rowing @ 90-95% of your 2k PR Pace
Rest 60 seconds
2 Minutes of Rowing @ 90-95% of your 2k PR Pace
Rest 2-3 minutes

On the first round I did the first set of thrusters unbroken and the second as 14/11, on the second round I had to break both sets of thrusters. That’s where I slowed down!
T2b were 25/12/9/4 and 20/16/14 (way faster but then I struggled on those thrusters)
All rows were between 2:05-2:10.

Way to push it today! Dont get too caught up in set number of reps in your workout. If 5s, 10s or consistent 7s. Can be great to pace that way, but can also hold you back if you do not need to rest yet.

E. No chance in hell to finish the whole workout in 15 mins cap. So restarded the New round at 20:00.
Round 1: 16.56 min (thrusters 9-8-8 @35 kg)
Round 2: 19.37 min (thrusters 9-8-8 @35 kg)

No 100% push because of my sickness, and my Conditioning are reduced. Still happy that I got through 2 rounds.

Be smart Christina! Training through illness is just prolonging your recovery. Don’t tax your CNS more and let your body rest!!

AM Session: Against a 90-second running clock: 5 Sandbag Cleans (150/100 lbs) Max Calorie Row in remaining time Rest 2 minutes Repeat for a total of 5 sets, noting calories achieved in each of the sets. 18 / 21 / 20 / 20 / 20 = 99 Cleans ~ :30 On rower at ~:35 Cut this down from 10 cleans to 5 – probably had a little too much time to row. I underestimated how much I would recover in the 2 minute rest. I usually struggle to do 5 cleans/min when I have to do them in the middle… Read more »

Sounds like you need to start trusting your fitness a little bit more! I think 7 would have been the magic number

Haha! My exact thoughts going into today…still managed to squeak out some pretty solid and consistent times and great to see even fatigued you can knock out some bigger sets of toes to bar ?
