Workout
Fartlek* 10K row/run

Back in my track days this was our typical weekend run…run a mile, sprint to the meter, jog 100M, sprint to the stop light, etc…

As I am rowing vs. running the examples below will reflect rowing…

Today lets do:

Warm up – easy rowing/running for 5 to 10 minutes

  1. Steady, hard pace (e.g. 2:00 – 2:30 pace @ 500M row) for 1000M
  2. Slow recovery (e.g. 2:40 pace @ 500M) for about 1000M
  3. Easy pace (e.g. 2:10-2:40) for 10 minutes with 60 second burst (1:50 pace) every 3 minutes
  4. Easy pace (e.g. 2:10 – 2:40) for 10 minutes with 10 second burst every minute
  5. repeat until you finish the 10K.

I like this type workout because I’ve done it in the past, it helps past the time (I worry about the efforts, intervals vs. the overall time) and it is more like a CrossFit workout vs. steady state running….enjoy!

    tabata project?

    finish each WO @ titanfit with random tabata intervals. could be box jumps, pushups, squats, lunges, jump rope, tuck jumps, sprints, etc.

    thoughts?

    what’s everyone else think? random tabata intervals pulled out of a hat to finish EVERY workout at herb’s?

    Sorry, Herb, rough night shift Friday. Didn’t get up until 5 PM Saturday.

    Struggled through the following

    10 rounds:

    4 Hang Power Snatch
    4 OHS
    4 OH Lunge
    20 Ab Mat Sit-ups

    17:25 – Sit ups were the rate-limiting factor.

    Tabatas after the WOD sound great, esp. after ME days. I’m not so sure I’d love ‘em after somethig like the Filthy Fifty, though.
