WOD – Wed, Apr 2

Intent

Today there is not a weight in sight! We will get out in the weather and run repeats. Why? Because running is life. And if you choose to resist this idea, fitness will remain a tough road for you. Regardless of personal opinion, you are designed to move in this way. You should be taught, you should practice and you should build capacity in it. Today we run quarter mile repeats and our goal is to toe the line of a repeatable pace and not sandbagging. Go as fast as you can run with the rest given, which today is only 2:00. Scaling can be done to an erg for anyone who doesn’t have the ability to run due to a lower body injury.
