Please take advantage of this time to work on skill and ask a coach to help you.

10 Minute Warmup;

400 Meters

Active Stretching

Running Drills

Thanks to Aerobic Capacity for this workout;

4 Sets: 2×600 Meters with no rest between reps and 2 Minutes rest between sets. Total Workout 4800 Meters

Workout Details: The 600’s will be performed by running 200 Meters at a moderate pace, running 300 Meters at a fast pace and 100 Meters at an easy pace. Take 2 Minutes of rest after every 1200 Meters.

Workout Pacing: Your 300 Meter Intervals are all at a fast pace equal to your mile PR time. As example, an athlete with a mile PR of 8 Minutes will target 90 seconds or 30 seconds per 100 Meters. Your 100 meter intervals are a slow recovery jog. You pick your recovery jog pace. Your 200 Meters are at a moderate pace.

The goal of this workout is to run the 300 Meter interval at a very fast pace. You should feel like it is a hard interval and that your pace is sustainable and fast for the 300 Meters.

20 Back Leg Swings on left leg

STRENGTH

RX: Deadlift 5X5 building

*last 3 sets should be higher than met-con weight or roughly 80%

*3 min rest between sets.  Take that time to stretch out shoulders.

FITNESS: * Build to met-con weight and perform 15 reps with it. Make any weight adjustments after this is 15 reps is a struggle.

METCON

As many reps as possible in 5 minutes:

60 Deadlifts (40 DL) (RX: 275/185) (RX+275/195lbs)

Max reps: (10 jumping pull-ups+10dips) (RX: Strict pull-ups) (RX+ Muscle ups)

As many reps as possible in 5 minutes:

50 Hip extensions (Hold a 25/15 plate)

Max reps Muscle ups in remaining time

NOTE: Goal is to get some muscle ups each time. If you are unable to hit at least 20 reps unbroken at the prescribed weight, lower it so you can get to the rings. I wouldn’t recommend doing sets of 20, though. Small, quicker sets will be the way to go trying to get 15-20 reps done each minute. Hopefully each time you can get to the rings before the 4 minute mark, or even 3 minutes if you are hustling.
