WODS for the Week of 9.23.2018

We will be operating as is this week since the gym will be available for normal use and HOA isn’t at the facility this week.

Short Interval 9.24.2018 @5:30 pm

fifty 50

Workout Description:

Five Rounds:

4 x (50m easy recovery jog, 50m sprint) with NO rest between reps.

(Each round is 400 meters total)

Rest 3:00 between sets.

Workout Detail:

Your focus is FAST, RECOVER, REPEAT!

Your Pace:

No math tonight. This WOD has just two paces:  A) Very, very slow. B) Very, very fast. The 50m jog intervals must be SLOW in order to maintain your sprint speed. The jog is any speed except walking. The 50m sprints are 98% of max effort (to retain form). Focus on a quick acceleration when starting each sprint.

Your Score:

The wod will be for total time.

Methodology:   Speed    Total Distance:      2000m=1.243 miles.

Long Interval 9.27.2018 @5:30 pm

scrunchy

 

Workout Description:

4 Rounds:

500m, rest 50 seconds;

400m, rest 40 seconds;

300m. Done. Go into your 3:00 minute rest.

Rest 3:00 between sets

Workout Detail:

You will know if you picked the correct interval pace if you’re feeling the need to slow down during your third set.

Your Pace:

Target a pace for each interval that is about 2-3 sec/100m slower than your 1-mile PR pace.  This will be a moderate pace workout.  Focus on hitting those paces with the short recovery period.

Your Score:

The wod will have four separate scores.  You will score each round separately.

Methodology:   Lactate Threshold    Total Distance:      4800m= 2.982582 miles
