Athlete Notes:
Show up ready to breathe hard today because “Siggi” is going to make you work. This workout comes down to the grind as you are never going to reach failure for the majority of these movements. Set your equipment up close to each other and think of this workout as two parts. Part one is from the beginning until you finish the 9’s. Part two is the last 100 double unders and row.
Approach part one at 80-85% rate of perceived exertion (RPE). This may start to creep up to 90% toward the end of this part. Then you will finish with part two being closer to 95% RPE and building into 100%. The last part is really where you can knock off a chunk of time if you are willing to go there. If you’d like to learn more about pacing, please check out this article.
