Running Endurance
Two sets, couldnt keep the intensity

Confession; I did a 14 minute chipper on Thursday. Needed to keep my mind busy. No more Thursday WODs.

1. Done – jumped right into this without any pre wod stretching… my back didn’t like that at first but loosened up after the first set.
2. 310/355/405/430/5 @ 405 (based off of most recent heavy single, not all time best)
3. 10:38 (went unbroken on everything but my muscle up cycle rate has slowed down a bit… id like to do some skill work to smooth these out again)
4. 8:12 (scaled the wall ball to 20lbs due to a slight ache in my left knee after the squats)
5. Done

A) 1:46/1:43/1:43/1:46/1:49 on the air runner
B) 255/285/305/325/345×1, called it there – low back feels a little funky from yesterday so didn’t want to push it
C) 11:55, 9-6 on the last set of hspu, everything else unbroken
D) 8:48, 18-12 on wb, power snatches were mostly singles because of how sweaty everything was (and because my shoulders were toast)
E) 8 reps with 40s, 10 dips

A. Done I scaled the KBs to 35# each and finished all in about 1:50.
B. 215/255/285/305# 285#x2
C. Scaled the HSPUs to 10 reps and still didn’t make the time cap. That HSPU/MU combo is definitely tough for me with regards to shoulder stamina. Broke the HSPUs (5-2-2-1/3-3-2-2/4-3-3) and MUs (6-2-2/5-3-2/5-3-2)
D. 14:40 Rx
E. Done with 25# DBs for 8 reps and 10 reps at tempo per round.
