Programming week 9

Monday 24 February

Warming Up

In pairs:

  • Row exactly 500 m in IGYG without viewing the screen – switch every 30″

For every meter over/under both partners do 1 burpee

  • Ski exactly 500 m in IGYG without viewing the screen – switch every 30″

For every meter over/under both partners do 1 burpee

Before starting do a test set of 30″ to see how much distance you cover on each machine.

Conditioning

For max distance:

2 rounds:

3′ ON /3′ OFF x 8 – rest 1 min between rounds

  • Set 1-8 = Rower
  • Set 9-16 = Ski-erg

Work in pairs. P1 and P2 alternate sets. So P1 starts on the first machine. Completes 3 min while P2 rests. Then P2 completes 3 min while P1 rests. Score is total distance over 8 rounds (4 rounds per athlete). 1 min rest to switch machines and get ready, then complete the 8 rounds again for machine 2.

*Keep an eye on your pace and s/m. Try to keep these metrics as constant as possible. Hold a high, but sustainable pace.
