This Week’s WODs

*Cycle R/Week 4 of 12*

Short Interval (Mon 5:30pm):   “Hard Charging”

5 Rounds:

400m at moderate pace

100m at easy pace

200m at fast or 2k PR pace

100m at easy pace

100m SPRINT at MAX EFFORT

Rest 2:00 between rounds

Methodology:      Lactate Threshold      Total Distance:     4500m      Scoring:     WOD is for total time

WOD Notes–This workout is structured to provide less rest between reps, disallowing complete recovery between reps. Therefore, you must strive to keep from “red-lining” too early in the round in order to meet your paces throughout the workout.

WOD Math–Fast pace=2k PR pace or faster; Moderate pace=2k PR pace + 8-10 sec/500m; Sprint pace=you guessed it…max effort!

Long Interval (Thurs 5:30pm):   “Shine Bright” Assault Bike WOD

3 sets:

90 seconds at easy pace, rest 30 seconds

75 seconds at moderate pace, rest 30 seconds

60 seconds at fast pace, rest 30 seconds

Scoring:       WOD is for total time

Announcements

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow…which means SIX more weeks of winter! BUT???? Mr. Phil’s not exactly from Springfield, MO, is he?

In other words, if the cold weather begins to break a bit…expect some time-trial testing coming your way very soon!

1. UPDATE:  We’ve opted to postpone the mile time trials until the cold and inclement weather subsides a bit. We’ve been forced to the inside at least once per week lately, and we know many of you would prefer to have some more pavement time before we test again. So stay committed to the programming in the meantime–indoors or out. Its designed to keep your progress from stalling; and be ready for a mile TT coming up in the next few weeks!

2. Don’t forget to wear BRIGHT colors to nighttime CFE! #noroadkill
