STIMULUS
- Overview: This long, grindy chipper alternates between cardio efforts and power cleans. Choose cardio distances that take between 4-5 minutes and clean weight you can complete in about 1 minute.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
- Target Loading: Moderate (55-65%)
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
- Target Score: 18-25 Minutes
* If time-capped, add 1s to your score for every incomplete rep. 100m = 1 rep.
STRATEGY
- Approach the first run with intention, but at a pace that allows you to get right onto the barbell.
- Your row should be completed at a 5k pace. This will allow you to transition smoothly, stay at or below your threshold, and still get right onto the barbell.
- The power cleans are a moderately heavy weight. It will likely make sense to complete these in small sets or quick singles.
- Pick the intensity up on the last run and finish strong.
