– SKILL I – (AMRAP – Reps)

EMOM 12:

Minute 1 | :45 alternating single-leg squats

Minute 2 | 1:00 Ski-erg

– Score = Total single-leg squats

– Consistent pacing and reps

– Pick a ski pace that is just faster than a recovery pace. You don’t want to ski so fast that you cause significant fatigue for the single-leg squats. Maintain a consistent pace on the squats, going for 10 reps across all rounds vs. to scoring 20 reps in round one and then dropping off.

– Your midline will be significantly fatigued from the GHD workout. Consider your overall fatigue level when picking a pace for the first few rounds.

Modifications

Single-leg squats | Box or ring-assisted reps

Ski-erg | Row, single-unders

– STAMINA I – (8 Rounds for time)

Every 5:00 x 3 rounds:

800-meter run

then…

Every 3:00 x 5 rounds:

400-meter run

– 800-meter runs in under 4:30.

– 400-meter runs in under 2:30.

– Rest with any remaining time on the clock.

– Move at a faster pace than you normally hit and try to sustain for several sets.

– Stay slightly more reserved on the 800-meter runs as there’s less rest than between the 400-meter intervals.

– Use the first 400 meters to feel out where you’re at in the workout. If there’s gas in the tank, punch it on the second of the 5 x 400-meter runs and try to hang on for the rest of the workout.
