Reps & Total Time

Overview. Run focused intervals slightly over threshold pace (pushing a little harder this week with the DB movements). Note first part an AMRAP while the second one is once through for time (but not all out).
Adaptation. Improve efficiency and sustainable power output at or just above the anaerobic threshold. Develop the ability to maintain a strong, consistent effort across modalities, improve aerobic capacity and lactate dynamics (production/clearance) at threshold.
Effort. Challenging but sustainable for the entire 6 minutes. The run (and ski) should be at a pace you could hold for a little over 3km. Move steadily on the non-monostructural movements (aim to keep them unbroken OR reduce reps or weight).
Feel. Challenging but manageable, allowing you to maintain a steady output without redlining. Aim for RPE 7-8/10.
Debrief.
– How was your pacing? Were you keeping a sustainable pace?
– How about the thrusters and box step overs? Were you able to keep them unbroken?
– Did you find one modality harder/easier than others?
– What two (2) things can you be proud of in this session? What one (1) thing must you improve?
