Overview. These are intended as fast, hard intervals that are still sustainable for the 8-minutes and can be repeated with 4-minutes of rest. This means finding a pace that you can (barely) maintain through the interval (and recover in time for the next one).
Adaptation. Improve aerobic power, muscular endurance, and movement efficiency under fatigue.
Effort. Pick a hard, but sustainable pace on the machines, and keep the mixed work to minimal sets. Plan breaks where needed that allow for rest to remain short before getting right back to work.
Choose movement options that allow you to move continuously through the intervals without getting stuck on a single movement.
Feel. Expect a steady build in breathing and leg fatigue from the machines, with grip and midline taxed during gymnastics and DB work. Fatigue will compound more in A3, stay in control on A1 and A2 so you can finish strong.
Debrief.
– How was your pacing? Were you able to keep moving through the entire session?
– Did your pacing in A1/A2 set you up to push in A3, or were you already near the redline?
– Did you stay consistent through the session?
– What two (2) things can you be proud of in this session?
