Mixed Modal Option

Against a 60-second running clock…
10/7 Machine Calories
Max Reps of Devil’s Press (50/35 lb DBs)
Rest 60 seconds and repeat for a total of TEN sets.

Don’t be scared to push the pace on these and trust that you can maintain an aggressive pace and be able to recover in 60 seconds. A good goal would be to perform 4-6 reps each set.

Running Option
Every 3 minutes, for 30 minutes for times:
Run 200 Meters @ 105% of your 400m PR pace

Speed intervals this week. Run these 5% faster than the pace you held for your 400m PR – so if your 400m PR was 60 seconds, you’ll aim to finish the 200 meters in 28.5 seconds each set. (60/1.05/2)

Rowing Option
Every 4 minutes, for 40 minutes for distances:
90 seconds of Rowing or Bike Erg

Huge challenge and achievement if you are successful…try to maintain last week’s pace again this week. You get a bit more rest and it’s two fewer sets, so dig in and make it happen!
