Programming week 30

Monday 24 July

Warming Up

4 min AMRAP

1-2-3-4-5- etc

Conditioning

Prep in pairs:

4 x 60″ on / 60″ off – P1 rows/ski while P2 rests and vice versa

  1. easy pace – focus on rowing and ski-mechanics (on the rower: legs / back / arms / back / legs, on the ski erg: hinge / elbows to your chest, wrists to your pockets)
  2. easy pace – memorise your spm
  3. maximise spm – note your top speed
  4. try to maintain the speed from the last set whilst getting as close to the spm from the first set as possible. This means you’ll need to use your legs more on the rower and push harder on the handles of the ski erg

 

We do this 2 times, for the rower and ski erg. Rest 3 min between rounds.

Warming Up

  • Running drills trainer’s choice

For example:

  • A skips
  • B skips
  • High knees
  • Butt kicks
  • Walking lunges
  • Bounding

Conditioning

Today is all about learning how to pace our running. If the weather is bad, we can use machines, but cover the screens so only the coach can see your screen and cheating isn’t possible

 

Workout

  • 3 x 400 m run

Start a new set every 5 min

*Try to hold the same sustainable pace over each round.

 

  • 4 x 200 m run

Start a new set every 4 min

*Aim to run faster each set – try to increase your speed similar in each round. We don’t care about absolute speed today, it’s better to speed up exactly 20″ each round at slower speeds than to run very fast but your times differ 5″ all up to 30″ each round

 

  • 5 x 100 m run

Start a new set every 3 min

*All out sprint, no more pacing. Whatever there’s left in the tank, what’s your maximum speed? Is your first or second set the fastest?
