Thursday 04.25.13

In two-person teams, perform 3 RFT:
Run 1 mile (as a buddy run)
100 Push-ups (total)


Post time to comments.


Coach's Notes. 
Plan for start times at 0545 and 0615!  Other times to comments.  With all the APFTs going on at the track, recommend using the DFAC road course.  One route idea here, do your pushups in the grass and you get the variety of some rolling hills on the run.
  • Buddy Run -- Each team must begin and end each mile together.  Try to pair with someone of similar ability, and push each other hard. 
  • Pushups -- only one athlete works at a time. Chest to deck, full extension at the top (hand release for bonus points).
Scaling -- try to avoid it if you can on this one and lean on your partner to get you through the suck.  If you need to scale the run volume, consider reduced (800m/800m/800m) or descending distances (1m/800m/400m).  If you need to scale PU, go to knees but keep full ROM.

That's right, partner WOD on Thursday!  We are experimenting with a more systematic approach to programming, and letting the workout structures dictate opportunities for Team WODs rather than forcing them in on Friday.  We'll see how it works...if you have an opinion one way or another post to comments, we'd like to hear your feedback.

  • "CF Pushup Standards" - HQ vid.  None of those Arrrrmy pushups!  When we say CF standard pushup we are talking rigid body, chest to the floor and full extension at the top.  Note, CF pushups ≠ hand release pushups.  HRPU are only required when specified.
