Today we have an interval style monostructural conditioning piece. With the assigned 2:00 on, 1:00 off format we want to encourage athletes to keep output high effort levels very cyclical. Athletes will complete this workout “chipper” style. Meaning they’ll finish the entire station before moving to the next.
Time to complete work
Bike | Around 4 rounds
Row | Around 4 rounds
Rope Climb| 1 rep in :30
Target effort
With a workout today, we can miss out on the stimulus by not focusing our attention and effort intentionally on the machines. Guide athletes to understand the 500m or 1k splits on the rower and bike screens. Use your warm up to guide athletes to a target split effort and encourage them to maintain that effort throughout the workout.

Athletes should be able to leave their C2 monitors on and accumulate distance rather than resetting each time.
A split pace of 2:00 for men and a 2:15 for women will allow athletes to finish with the 4 rounds of work on the bike and rower.

Look For
Monitoring metrics. Keep an eye on the RPMs and 1k split and encourage athletes to maintain the target they established in the warm up.
Arm Movement. Emphasize a smooth and controlled arm movement, with the elbows bending only after the legs have fully extended. Encourage a straight chain path during the pull phase, avoiding unnecessary deviations.
Sequence. Cue athletes to follow the reach, tuck, clamp, stand sequence to maximize efficiency on their rope climb.

“The only thing that is different about me, is that I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill.” - Will Smith
It’s not about the treadmill. It’s what the treadmill stands for.
Will Smith is not a competitive athlete. If he runs 2, 3, 10 miles… he’s still probably going to be highly successful in his career.
Probably.
But that’s not why he is who he is. He’s not defined by what he’s doing, but how he is doing it.
Full heart, full commitment, full effort. Wherever we go.
