Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we have a couplet with descending distances and reps.  The idea is that the time it takes to run, is the same amount of time it takes to complete that round of burpees.  We are aiming to move at a steady pace today, if we are moving we are winning.  Athletes should have distances and reps that allow them to have minimal rest periods. 

Scoring

Score | Total time

Movements

Run | 4:00/3:00/2:00/2:00 respectively

Burpees | 4:00/3:00/2:00/2:00 respectively

The One | Teaching Focus

Stepping up from the burpee

With the large amount of burpee reps today, its better for us to find a steady state that allows us to stay moving.  By stepping up from our burpee, it will allow athletes to better find a rhythm, and control their heart rate.

Run Falling Drill | tell, show, do, check

  • Objective: To teach athletes to use a forward lean, engaging gravity to help drive forward movement, rather than pushing through the legs inefficiently.
  • Starting Position:
  • Have the athletes stand tall with feet hip-width apart.
  • Encourage them to stand in a neutral position—head up, shoulders back, and core engaged.
  • Arms should be relaxed by their sides or slightly bent, mimicking the natural arm swing during running.
  • Controlled Fall
  • Instruct the athletes to slightly lift onto the balls of their feet (no need to come up too high).
  • Now, ask them to lean forward from their ankles, maintaining a straight line from head to heel (no bending at the waist or hips). The idea is to keep the body as a rigid plank.
  • Tell them to fall forward slowly and allow gravity to pull them forward, not forcing the motion.
  • Catch and Drive
  • As they fall forward, they should wait until they are about to lose balance, then take a step forward to “catch” themselves.
  • The first step should be small and quick, and the other leg should immediately follow to keep the forward momentum.
  • Continue with a few running steps, focusing on short, quick steps as they maintain the forward lean.
  • Have athletes work through a couple of these drills, working on picking up the speed each set.

Look For

  • Run | We want athletes to run the whole time today, if the written distances are going to require walking, let's pull them back to something that will allow them to run the whole time. 
  • Burpees | Athletes should touch their rest to the ground, and reach full hip extension at the top.  Scale back reps today to hit the stimulus time frame.
