240617

Workout of the Day

90

5 rounds, each for time, of:
Run 800 meters
Rest 3 minutes

Post time for each interval to comments.

Compare to 221119.

Scaling:
In today’s workout, we are going to tackle 5 half-mile runs. The half-mile is arguably one of the most challenging events in track. The goal is to run each interval as quickly as possible. With a significant amount of rest, aim to perform each run in a similar time. Newer athletes should reduce the distance to ensure they complete each interval in less than 5 minutes. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Have fun!

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
4 rounds, each for time, of:
Run 600 meters
Rest 3 minutes

Better overall, but I think I’m starting to push the pace earlier in my workouts than I used to. Not sure if that’s good or bad or neither….guess it depends on the desired result.

Thank you,

Adrian Troyer

According to WodWell.com and other sites' similar estimates: 800m row = approximately 1k row/ski for men and 800m row/ski for women. I've seen 60 cals as an assault/echo bike substitute for 800m run--but air dyne accrues calories more quickly, so I'd probably set a target of 70-ish based on my own experiences.

Globo wod: If you are using a conventional treadmill use a slight incline. Subs are 1000m row or 55 calories assault or echo bike.
