HOME WOD
“Double Time”
For Time:
3 Mile Run
Every 3 Minutes:
9 Burpees + 21 Air Squats
STIMULUS
DESCRIPTION
*Going longer in today’s running focused workout
*We aren’t just running – as a set of burpees and air squats will interrupt our progress every 3 minutes
*Every 3 minutes, starting at 0:00 on the clock, you’ll complete 9 burpees and 21 air squats before being able to continue forward for the run
*Make sure to wear a watch so you know when these 3-minute intervals arrive
*This workout will likely last 30+ minutes
*In order to achieve the right stimulus, let’s cap this workout at 40 minutes
BURPEES + AIR SQUATS
*These 30 total reps should take between 1:00-1:30 to complete
*This gives you at least 1:30-2:00 to make progress on your runs
*Reduce the reps as needed to complete the work in that amount of time
MODIFICATIONS
RUN
*6k Row
*12k Bike
*Convert Your Assault, Echo, or Schwinn Bikes to Kilometers

TEACHING
BREATHING
*Let’s aim to find a rhythm to your breathing during this longer run
*This can help you pace yourself better and help provide a steady flow of oxygen to your muscles
*Breathe from your belly and try out a 2:2 ratio
*Inhale in for 2 seconds – then exhale for 2 seconds
*Try it out walking, then at a steady jog, then at a faster pace
*Based on your speed and comfort level, you can even try extending this to 3:3 or 4:4
*When you control your breathing, you can better control your thoughts and movement
TIPS
*With the built in burpees and air squats, this workout will likely feel more like a 5 mile run
*Let’s pace it out from the beginning with that in mind
*Hold a pace that you see yourself being able to maintain for 30+ minutes
*It’s not about moving fast at any one station – rather maintaining a similar speed throughout

DAILY MINDSET
“A hero is one that knows how to hang on for one, minute, longer.”
~Norweigan Proverb
Often the difference between those who make it, and those who don’t.
If we want to see it through, we have got to be able to hang on. To push further than before. Success is like a wrestling match, with bouts of incredibly high intensity, and full of twists and turns. But in that… it’s a test of endurance.
But above all, its a test of will. That when everyone else stops, gives up, turns in… we hold on for one, minute, longer.
