Athlete Notes:

Today we’ve got a nice combination of cardio and gymnastics. Each piece is separated by a 2 minute rest, therefore we want you pushing the pace! Your first 800m run should be something slightly faster than your 1 mile pace (if you run your 800m PR, good luck recovering and being at all useful after just 2 minutes of rest). The gymnastics piece is going to be a lot of shoulder volume. We would recommend modifying the reps if you know this portion is going to take you longer than 8-10 minutes to complete. In other words, push the pace on the burpee pull-ups because they’re the easiest movement… try to get through the muscle-ups in 2-3 sets (4 max), and then force yourself to keep moving on the burpee ring muscle ups, which can be arguably easier than high volume muscle ups because you’re only doing one at a time! After the gymnastics piece you get a short rest, and then it’s time to go full send! This is where we learn to FINISH in a workout! Don’t quit early, sprint all the way through the line or the intended meters!
