GOAL: GRIND | Complete either on Saturday AFTER your GPP Portion or on Sunday. Pretty straight forward workout with brutal consequences. Perhaps the most straightforward test of mixed aerobic conditioning in the Hero realm. In approaching this workout, you almost should consider it in (2) halves…1 mile + 1k row then 1k row + 1 mile. First half MUST BE PACED at about 75% then repeat or increase your pace in the following 1k. Off the rower, all bets are off for the mile. I like using the first 400m to recover then pushing the pace progressively in the next 1200m.

C. STRENGTH / GYMNASTICS

Warm-up (No Measure)

No Additional Strength. Take the additional rest and focus on your GPP and Strength session. If you are feeling like you want to move / recover, add in 20-30 mins of walking, yoga, or stretching. But also…nothing wrong with taking some time to read a book and unwind!
