Overview. Short, fast intervals with little rest. Progressing to 40s work / 25s rest this week. This format keeps your heart rate up while forcing you to move efficiently across different patterns. With 40-sec of work, it’s important you find a movement option/loading that allows you to keep working, not just surviving.
Effort. Work at around 8-8.5/10 RPE. Push in each 40s, but not all-out — you should be able to repeat similar numbers from start to finish. The 20s rest is just enough to reset, not to fully recover.
Feel. Like last week, expect heavy breathing and steady fatigue in legs and shoulders as the sets build up. This week will be more challenging with the longer work interval duration. The challenge is staying composed so you don’t fall off in later rounds.
Adaptation. Builds aerobic power and VO₂max by keeping you working near max effort with incomplete recovery. Improves efficiency in common CrossFit movements while developing the ability to sustain power and composure across repeated short efforts.
Debrief. Take 2–3 minutes after the workout to reflect
– Did you keep rep counts consistent across all three sets?
– Which movement felt hardest, and why?
– Did you start at the right pace, or did you fade as the session went on?
– How did this session compare to last week?
– What’s one adjustment you’ll make next time to stay more consistent?
