For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we have a nice steady conditioning piece with a team. When we have a team of three workout, that means we can push the pace a little bit knowing we will get to rest. Each partner will run a 200m then switch, athletes can push the pace on the run knowing they get to rest after their turn. The same flow will follow in the snatches and the burpee box jumps. Encourage athletes to keep sets small, to be able to really hold a threshold pace the whole time today.

‍

Scoring

Time to complete work. Add 1s per rep if you are time capped.

Movements

‍

Strategies

The One | Teaching Focus

Barbell cycling

Focus on efficient cycling is a simple, actionable way for athletes to improve their performance on this workout.
Barbell should move in a straight path, throughout the reps. Encourage athletes to pull the bar into the body.

Look For

Run | Time, make sure each partner is able to run their 200m in around 1:00. Scale distance if needed.
Power Snatch | Look for the barbell to move in a straight path. Athletes should be pulling the bar into the body to keep it close.
Burpee box jumps | Look for footwork. Athletes should be coming up from the burpee flat footed, and landing soft on the box.
