Goal & Intensity
-Honor the memory of Chad Wilkinson by completing a long, steady, mentally demanding partner workout.
-The intention is to find a pace you can keep without stopping while working side by side.
-Low to moderate, steadily rising effort that tests mental endurance more than speed.
-This is about staying present and consistent, not sprinting.
RPE: 8 – steady, uninterrupted work with constant leg fatigue and elevated breathing.
Why this workout: This Hero WOD reminds us that heavy burdens aren’t meant to be carried alone — that’s why both partners work simultaneously. It builds mental resilience, step-up efficiency, and lower-body endurance over long durations.
Tip: Maintain a calm, even stepping cadence — hitting 10–12 reps per minute per athlete keeps you on track for the target time.
