WOD – Thu, Jan 8

Intent

(0-5)

Interval enhancement. Today is the day we see athletes who often feel limited by their heavy breathing in most workouts get a chance to improve their choice pacing, physiological endurance and even work hard without beating the body down. During your rest, find a jump rope skill that will enhance those double unders–or you can even do something more advanced for those very comfortable with the rope, such as cross over single unders or even cross over double unders.
