Athlete Notes:
Long and consistent here. We’re mixing some skill work with some aerobic work. The goal should be 1-2 sets on all sets of toes to bar, then work on efficiency on those pirouettes. Try to kick up and go and see if you can get them without having to rest too much. After that you’ll grab the drag rope and try to knock out the 40 in as few attempts as possible. Then we’re on to the rope where efficiency is going to be your friend especially as rounds creep higher and higher. Set a goal for time per climb and then try to stick to that. As you get tired account for that and add a few extra seconds per climb, but since you get to use your feet try not to waste too much time on the ground between reps. After that you’re back to another set of pirouettes then out the door for a 400 meter run. We’re looking for that to be your active recovery in the workout. Push at around your 5k pace or slightly faster so that you can come back in and hammer away on the skills portions. The goal is to keep your round splits as close as possible throughout. If the first round takes you 5 minutes and round 2 takes you 10 then you know something went wrong.
