wu: bike, scales and planks, pvc

skill: running and running drills


wod: 3 rnds*

500 m row

40 ab mat sit ups (no ghd)

30 cal echo bike

18:46


post: row, stretch

* In order to reduce the stress on my ankle, I modified the running with an amount of echo bike calories, that could be executed in less than 2:30 minutes. Since there is no ghd, I increased the volume of ab mat sit ups to make it more challenging.

As rx’d, 17:47.


Just a ‘check the box’ kind of day.  Sore and rather unmotivated, took the runs at a comfortable pace – I had more pep for them in rounds 2 and 3.  This looks a lot like “Blue”, but the 30 GHDs are way easier (if not much faster) than 21 burpees.  Unbroken GHDs.

Commented on: Pose Running Drills: Lean and Pull

Take a look here for a great explanation on the purpose of running drills and strengthening and flexibility exercises:

https://youtu.be/kYJbiZxaw2U


Check out this short video playlist of Pose Method Running Drills and Strength and Flexibility Exercises I recorded back in 2018:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnloz39j5gzlZDWOriiWW0cajMy5SMTF2


Use those drills and exercises with your clients/athletes and classes to help them develop better perception of Pose, Fall, and Pull, especially in the General and/or Specific Warm-up portions of training sessions.


Always send them out on a short (20-30 meters) run to apply the intended focus of the drill or exercise they are working on, in the actual run.


See how far you can ramp up Intensity (speed and/or distance) with running, until Technique degrades. Find out where that is, and drill, drill, and drill, until ramping up the intensity again, to see if you can maintain and execute Technique better.


The goal is to make running (more) effortless and improve performance, and at the same time reduce pain and injury, by teaching, learning, practicing, and training running technique!


Have fun!

Globo scale: if you do not have a rower, sub 15 burpees and 20 sumo deadlift high pulls (35/45lb bb, 2x15/20lb dbs, or a single 35/53lb kb). If you have no running space sub 100 double unders (scale to single unders or 50 tuck jumps). For GHD situps sub roman chair situps, weighted abmat situps, incline situps, or 45 abmat situps per round. If using a treadmill use a slight incline.



Equipmentless sub: 3rft 30 burpees run 400m 45 situps. Scale as needed.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

A humbling demonstration of how much "core" is involved in running and rowing. In the GHD sit-up you have themes like changing orientation, core-to-extremity, pulling from the hips, and midline stability.


MAIN DECISION

Scale the GHD sit-ups based on the general movement pattern (changing orientation) or local movement pattern (pulling from the hips)?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

As is, keep the reps on GHD sit-ups but cut them to like 1/4 or 1/2 (at the most) ROM. If you don't have a GHD then do Kb swings


CONSISTENCY SCALE

1 round

Row 1500m

Run 1200m

90 knees to elbows


INTENSITY SCALE

Pick either the row or run to sprint, then treat the rest like practice


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - 4 rounds of: Run 400 meters, 20 GHD sit-ups

Lower-body - 4 rounds of: Row 500 meters, 1-min L-sit


MY STUFF

Did 2 rounds of this in 9-something (subbed sdhp for row) then tested out some of Conamora's birthday workout


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7
