COACHING
In this higher rep workout, finding a rhythm to your breathing will be very important in allowing you to continue to move forward
On the runs, try inhaling for 2 seconds and exhaling for 2 seconds
On the burpees, exhale once at the bottom and once at the top
On the double unders, keep the face and upper body relaxed to allow for better airflow
STRATEGY
GENERAL
While the opening round looks like the most amount of work on paper because of the high reps, the 5 rounds that follow make up the majority of the workout
The workout can’t be “won” in the first round, but it can certainly be “lost” there
Use the first 160 double unders, 800 meter run, and 40 burpees as a primer for the remaining 280 double unders, 1,000 meters of running, and 70 burpees
Think about maintaining or building upon your opening round speed as you move along in this workout
This speed is something you see yourself holding for close to 25-30 minutes
Start smart and finish strong
