We've got a big cardio piece today, alternating between running and rowing. Choose a run distance that takes 5:00 or less to complete, giving you about 3:00 on the rower each round. Aim to work at the assigned RPE of 6-7 throughout today's piece. This is meant to be a quality aerobic training piece and not something that is majorly fatiguing. Even though the workout description reads "Max Calorie Row", we are really aiming for the max calories we can achieve at the assigned RPE.
Stimulus: [RPE 6-7]
Target Score: 180-300 Calories
Run: Choose a distance that takes 5 minutes or less.
Row: Athletes should have about 3 minutes for max calories.
Foot Strike
Midfoot or forefoot strike is generally preferred over a heavy heel strike.
Encourage a light, quick, and efficient foot turnover.
