Athlete Notes:
We’ve got some 1:1 sprint:rest intervals coming up today. Push the machines hard here, we’re looking for under 50-60 seconds for each of them. After you’re off the bike we want to see you going unbroken for the remainder of the time on those dumbbell snatches. Catch your breath during the rest and then get ready to sprint hard again.
