STRATEGY
- You can choose to go touch-and-go on the barbell or complete the power cleans in quick singles. This will vary from athlete to athlete, but the goal here should be consistency.
- Settle into a steady but quicker pace on the burpees, keeping them as consistent as possible. Pay attention to your breathing.
- Use the 200m runs as your pacer each round. Slow your breathing and shake out your arms. Run at a pace that will allow you to stick to your timing on the power cleans and burpees.
