Intent

Bring a wristwatch if you have one. It’s an easy way to keep accurate time without needing to run in and out of the gym to check the main clock and risk losing a few seconds each round. And don’t forget your running shoes!
Today is a repeat ascending ladder of running efforts, with rest increasing as the distance increases. This is a great opportunity to build skill and confidence in your running. Just like any movement we train in the gym, running requires good technique to be done well. When it’s overlooked, people often say running hurts, but more often it comes down to inefficient mechanics rather than the movement itself. Focus on moving well, staying relaxed, and improving your stride each round.
