This week we will be testing two benchmark workouts from our program. We like to test our capacities every once and awhile in our programming. It’s very simple, but often effective. This week we will be on the bridge, and then do a Mile Time Trial on Thursday. This is a good week to check us out.
Crawl, Run, Walk
This is the final week for the crawl, run and walk challenges.
You will perform:
85/90/95/100 m Bear Crawls
1300/1400/1500/1600 m Run and Walks.
Record your One Mile Time to see if you have made any progress.

I am passionate about DOING something to alleviate human need and suffering in our world. Recently, I enrolled in a nutrition program to ensure that I’m entering my 30’s as strong and healthy as possible. In the process, I was reminded that it’s a privilege to be able to choose what type of food I eat and when. I’ve seen firsthand the difference something as simple as a meal can make in someone’s life. When our basic needs are not met, we STRUGGLE to move through life on a healthy trajectory. This month I turn 30 and I cannot think of a better way to begin a new decade than by getting my friends and family together to give back! I want to invite you to take a moment to recognize the blessing and resources that you have in your life and acknowledge how those have impacted you. Hope and I personally give to Convoy of Hope’s feedONE program which feeds one child for an entire month for only $10. We believe 100% in what they are doing to alleviate hunger, provide resources and meet real human needs across the world. My goal is to raise $3,600 by March 31st to feed 30 children for an entire year through Convoy’s feedONE program. Will you please join me? – Andrew

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Keith “Matt” Maupin, 24, of Batavia, Ohio, disappeared on April 9, 2004, when insurgents south of Baghdad attacked his convoy with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. His remains were found on March 20, 2008. Prior to his disappearance, Maupin served as part of the 724th Transportation Company in Bartonville, Illinois.
He is survived by his mother, Carolyn; father, Keith; a brother and sister; and many other friends and family members.
During the month of March we will introduce a new challenge. This will be titled, “CRAWL, RUN, WALK!”
This will kick off on Monday, March 7th.
The challenge will involve running, walking and bear crawls. You will start with a 5 meter bear crawl, 100m run/jog, 100m walk. Each day we will progressively add 5 meters to the bear crawl and 100 meters to the run/jog/walk. The goal is to give you a chance to do a daily run and ultimately by the end of the month you will run a mile for time.
If your looking to start running this will be a great program to get going in small chunks each and every day. The ultimate goal will be testing your mile time or if you have a goal of just running a mile unbroken. So dust off those running shoes and get to moving.
We will post the daily challenges on Wodify under the Endurance tab.
At the end of each week’s challenges, you will run your distance for time. Be the end you will have timed intervals of 400m, 800m, 1200m, and 1600m. This will give you a good indication of where your mile time should be by the end.

Two Face
Part 1:
200m Moderate Pace, rest :15 sec.
400m Moderate Pace, rest :30 sec.
600m Moderate Pace, rest :45 sec.
800m Moderate Pace, rest :60 sec.
Part 2:
10x150m any Pace, :10 second rest.
Moderate paces are generally little slower than your fast paces. Your goal will be :03-:05 seconds slower per 100m ran. If you run a :20 second 100m fast pace, then your goal would :23-:25.
Coorelate these figures by calculating :03-:05 seconds per 100m ran for each interval.
The finishing time for each 150m interval should be +/- 1 sec. Stay consistent and find a pace you can maintain each interval. There is a tight window on your pace. So don’t go at a pace you can’t maintain.
