🏃 Get Ready to Sprint! Today's workout is all about pushing yourself through three rounds of running and heavy deadlifts. The goal? Finish! Each round stepping up to the barbell is going to be tougher and tougher, but keep the transitions controlled, don't go too fast and focus on a lifting heavy!
💪 Understanding the Challenge: Today's workout is long, but not slow. running long distances can be tough especially when you want to moderate your pace. Each run get's shorter AND the weights on the bar get lighter, so your first round is logistically the toughest. That means when it comes to pacing the runs, you should go faster as the workout progresses.
📊 Performance Check: The heavier weights for deadlifts take more focus. This means giving yourself more time after completing the run before getting picking up your first deadlift. 30-45 seconds of breathing and prep work will make tackling a big first set within reach. Focus all your energy on bracing your core, squeezing your abs, and getting your breath under control so your first pull is PERFECT.
📋 Game Plan & Tips: Pace yourself in the first round, then pick it up or maintain the pace in round two, and give it your all in round three. The final run, the 400m round, should be fast even if your legs feel like lead. Don't be afraid to push the pace here because it's your last effort of the day. But don't forget to keep your focus on the core! There's nothing like heavy deadlifts to make your week feel like a success <3
