Fran Day.
The most well known bench mark workout in CrossFit. A couple different options.
“Friendly Fran” and regular Fran.
*If you don’t have a baseline time for regular Fran OR you want to beat your old time we would suggest trying regular Fran. It’s a good test of fitness.
*Friendly Fran will be time capped at 12 minutes. It’s a lot of volume meant to be done with intensity. It’s a more advanced version of “Fran”
