Strategy

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. We want to aim for both of our mile runs to be completed in roughly the same amount of time. Treat the first mile as a buy-in and pace more than than you think. Treat the second mile as a cash-out and aim to push the pace.

2. We’ll break up the gymnastics in the middle based on our capacity. Whatever break up strategy we choose, we should be aiming for constant movement with minimal breaks.

Potential Break-Up Strategies:

25 Rounds: 4 Pull-Ups, 8 Push-Ups, 12 Air Squats

25 Rounds: 4 Push-Ups, 4 Pull-Ups, 4 Push-Ups, 12 Air Squats
