Workout Overview

Stimulus

In part 1, This is the fifth and final week of our 5-week Super Power strength cycle. This is a deload week to allow for full recovery, leaving athletes feeling fresh, strong, and primed for future strength gains.

In part 2, In this 30-minute continuous workout, we're starting each AMRAP with a specified run distance, then using the remaining time to accumulate as many calories on the rower as possible. Choose run distances that take no longer than half the listed AMRAP time, giving you roughly equal time on the rower each round.

Scoring

Score: Total Calories

Movements

Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7

Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]

Target Score: 180-360 Calories

Choose run distances that take about half the time of the Amrap.

The One | Teaching Focus

Keep the seat from your feet 

This teaching focus emphasizes the "catch" position of the rower sequence. In this position the athlete should be targeting a sound "a frame" created by the legs through the position between the seat of the rower and the foot pads. This position is most optimal for a lower body push to generate force in the drive sequence of the rower. Athletes often bring the seat all the way to their heels, creating an inefficient position to drive from.

Strategies

Your runs should be done at a hard effort, but still in control. This will balance giving you the most time to accumulate calories on the rower while allowing you to work at a strong pace on the row. 

Once you get to your rower, get the flywheel moving as quickly as you can. Work at a hard effort for the first 30-60 seconds, then settle into a sustainable pace that will allow you to get off the rower and right into a strong run.

Look For

  • Run: Athletes should choose distances that only take about half the time frame of the amrap, be sure athletes have chosen a distance that allows them to hit the target. 
  • Row: Encourage athletes to only row at a pace that will allow them to get off and right to work on the next run.
