*Want to Join Kyle and Make Today an Endure Challenge!!!
Coach Kyle is training for the Spartan Beast obstacle course race on Oct 22 and it is time in the program for a sport-specific, overloading workout…enter a 2 hour and 45 minute AMRAP!!! Kyle would LOVE to have some company, so if you are interested and up for a challenge, come join him!
Here’s what it’ll look like:
Starting at 8:45 AM
8:45 AM - Chat about the workout and make sure you’re comfortable and understand the exercises and how to scale.
Warm-up with the 9 AM Class.
Start the workout with the 9 AM class, but replace the rows and the air bikes with running. Pace the workout like it’s a 2hr 45min AMRAP, so you should be going much slower than the rest of the class.
Immediately after the 4 Rounds, start the AMRAP listed below in the Spartan Beast Prep Section. Basically, it’s a bunch of slow 800m jogs separated by sandbag and other exercises.
AMRAP will end at 11:45 AM, so we can clean-up and get out of the way of the noon class.
Notes:
If you are even mildly interested in possibly approaching this challenge, don’t get too worked up over the time domain. In these longer time domains, you just go really slow, take breaks, walk, get water, go to the restroom, etc. when you need. You are more capable than you think and although it will be hard, what may sound improbable to you will be manageable if you just take it one thing at a time.
If you are not interested in that much running, you can continue to alternate between rowing, air bike, and running the entire time.
There’s a water fountain at the gym, but if you’d like snacks or electrolytes, we’ll be going in and out of the gym over and over again, so, if you bring snacks, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to fuel up without having to carry everything with you.
Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, recommended.
