WOD – Wed, Apr 30

Intent

Today we get aerobic. We will start to get more running miles under our legs as warmer weather approaches and as does Murph! Local muscle endurance will be challenged on the volume accumulation of sumo deadlift high pulls. How well can you hold onto the KB when your hamstrings, glutes, upper back and low back are all screaming at you to rest? We will find out (evil smile). In all reality, the best strategy here is to run, but with control that provides you a chance to move with urgency each time you come back to your KB. If you run so fast that you are forced to stand around at the KB more than you may want to, you may be left in the dust by lesser runners than you. To optimize the time of a workout like this is to optimize the “fitness gains” you get. Break up the KB work on purpose before you “have to”–it will help you to rest less and keep steady work through your intervals until you reach the desired rep scheme of each round.

Murph Prep- As we end April and go into May the volume will get higher, with a nice taper down as we approach Murph, Remember this is completely optioal and it can be done, before, after, or simply as the Work out of the day, Feel free to scale down as needed. Remember something is better than nothing.
