Time Domain: 4:00-5:00 Per Set / 25:00-30:00 Total
Time Cap: 35:00
Primary Objective: Maintain 5k pace on the run and the row
Secondary Objective: Negative split the workout with the first round being the slowest round.
RPE: 7-8.5/10
Stimulus: Aerobic Threshold / Leg Endurance
The way to attack this workout is with conservative pacing on set 1 and then moving into a more aggressive pace into sets 2 and 3 before hitting the final 2 sets at the hardest intensity. Plan to start at a round 6/10 RPE and build to a 9/10 RPE. Overall this workout is a challenging aerobic grind of a workout that will build fatigue in the legs and heart.
Movement Modifications:
Row: Adjust volume to a 300/250m or sub equivalent distance of a Ski Erg or 800/700m Bike Erg would be the primary subs for the day.
Run: Adjust volume to 300 or 200m run as first sub, then move to a 900/800m Bike Erg for equivalent machine option or a 30/22 Calorie Echo Bike.
Air Squats: Adjustment of volume or squatting to a box would be alternative for the day.
