221103

Workout of the Day

47

5 rounds for time of:

250-m row, sub 0:52♀/0:45♂
50 double-unders, unbroken

If the row takes longer than 0:52/0:45, or if you trip up on your double-unders, redo that exercise before moving back to the other exercise.

Post time to comments.
Compare to 180504.


Scaling:
If you’re unfamiliar with row pacing or a sub 0:52/0:45 time is unrealistic, row 250 meters at max effort in the warm-up, then add a few seconds to that to create your target time for the workout. This workout forces you to row at a near-maximum effort so you can make sure the row counts and you don’t have to repeat the work. Athletes who struggle with double-unders might want to switch to unbroken single-unders or reduce the number of double-unders each round.

Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
250-m row, sub 0:57♀/0:50♂
100 unbroken single-unders

If the row takes longer than 0:57/0:50, or if you trip up on your single-unders, redo that segment before moving back to the other exercise.

Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
250-m row, sub 1:02 ♀/0:55♂
100 single-unders

If the row takes longer than 1:02/0:55, redo it before moving back to the other exercise.

Anyone have some tips or cues for double unders. I’ve tried penguin taps, using the cue “jump wrist wrist. I’m still struggling to learn these

One thing that helped me was to master alternating single-unders and double-unders, i.e., one DU, one SU, one DU, one SU, etc. I would also bend your knees, if necessary, until you get the hang of them, before moving to more efficient posture/movements.

Rx Row goal

Intermediate Jump Rope work

18:16


:44-:44-:44-:45-:45 for rows (C2, Drag 7, 38s/m average). I ain't got dubs like that so I stuck with the 100 SU unbroken and practiced DUs in the warm-up and cool down. The rows were my focus, so I let my transitions between rounds take a while longer. Still breathed fire on this one.

I get so out of breath doing DUBs. Are there any suggestions on how to breathe?

Steve Day
January 5th, 2021 at 2:43 am

Janine - I think the key is finding a nice consistent pace and sticking to it. Think jogging vs sprinting. Try to be as efficient as you can with the jumps i.e. dont jump too high and expend more energy than needed.

Steve Carey
January 5th, 2021 at 5:48 pm

I agree with everything Steve says, finding a consistent rhythm/tempo is way more important than speed. I'll never be an expert but have put a lot of focus on DUs lately and have found that slower is better - it helps me with breathing, less shoulder/arm fatigue and messing up a little less.

Jeff Chalfant

I have found breathing in on even and out on odd reps helps me keep going. It’s a bit fast but then I can take long slow breaths between sets. Also helps me keep count… Hope this helps!

And at other times, practice basic diaphragmatic breathing in a supine/face-up position to really expand your lungs sideways when you are relaxed, and it can get a bit easier when you are upright and working hard.
