• Overview: This threshold workout alternates sustained rowing with periodic run-and-barbell interruptions, challenging your ability to recover and maintain a consistent pace. Transitions will be key as the rounds add up.
• Workout Flow: The workout starts with a round of run + push press. Each run-and-barbell block should take about 3:00-3:30, leaving roughly 2:30-3:00 on the rower to accumulate meters. Every 6:00, you'll stop rowing to complete another run-and-barbell block. The faster you complete the run and barbell, the more rowing time you'll have.
• Push Press: Choose a load you can cycle in 1-3 sets.
• Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
• Target Loading: Light (35-45%)
• Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
• Target Score: 3,000-4,000 Meters (M); 2,700-3,600 Meters (W)

• We want an even pace we can hold for all five intervals. Treat this like a steady 30-minute effort.
• Run: Approach these at a smooth, conversational pace that allows you to immediately pick up the barbell.
• Push Press: Drive through the legs and keep your dip & bar path vertical to stay efficient. Only work for as long as reps stay quick. If they slow, take a quick break. This is a light enough weight that you should be able to challenge yourself to a quick cycle speed.
• Row: Settle onto the rower at a pace around your 5k split plus 2-5 seconds per 500m. Get the flywheel moving immediately each time you sit down, then settle into your repeatable split.
