T2 WOW - 2024-10-14



Building. Growing. Winning. It’s what we do. We’re piling on the volume in Workout A this week, and hitting some totally unique mojo in B and C. Training for fatigue resistance, repeatability, and durability is a fairly straightforward task. We use a mix of intensities but we let volume take precedence. 

 

The fall season across much of the country has been delightful, barring hurricane season in the southeast. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected. 

 

Bang out each session twice this week, like the champ that you ARE!

Workout A Breakdown: As per our method this month, the video for the warmup is a resource if you need to check form on the moves. 3 rounds is quite the prep. In this case we’re getting a bonus workload using some (now) familiar movements. And in the primary, instead of a descending ladder, you’re now facing a pyramid. This is a LOT of work, so pace yourself. Finish out like last week.

 

Workout B Breakdown: Excluding warmup and cooldown, this sucker is 40 minutes of ramp intervals. You go one minute each at RPE (always out of 10) 6, 7, 8, then 5. This is strong work. You are a strong and enduring beast…a DuraBEAST!

 

Workout C Breakdown: We’re not fooling around (actually not foolin’ like Def Leppard) this week. It’s endurance time. Go for an hour to an hour and a half. I realize this works well on the weekend but weekdays present a time crunch. Start early or finish late and bring a headlamp. #noexcuses.

 

Let’s go! As my friend the late and oh so great Frank Newman used to say…Fitness Must Be EARNED!
