STIMULUS
- Overview: This long aerobic workout pairs progressively longer runs with an increasing set of push-ups each round. The early rounds will move quickly, but as the run distances increase and the push-ups accumulate, your body will struggle to fight the increasing fatigue.
- Push-ups: Keep a streamlined position, keeping your hips from sagging or piking. Bring your chest to the ground, and reach full extension of the elbows at the top. Choose a push-up variation that allows you to complete your first 10 reps of each round unbroken.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
- Fitness Attributes Improved: Lactate Threshold & Muscular Endurance
- Target Score: 22-27 Minutes
* If time-capped, add 1s to your score for every incomplete rep. (100m = 1 rep)
