Things to Consider
- 1.On the tread, pick your base pace conservatively—you need to sustain it for 23 minutes while also being ready to spike effort with random cues. If you're gassed by minute 15, your base was too aggressive.
- 2.When the coach calls a cue, react quickly and decisively. The faster you transition to the demanded effort and back to base, the more efficient your workout becomes.
- 3.On the strength incline blocks (8%), adjust your push speed accordingly—maintain effort not pace. A slower speed at 8% incline is still highly effective.
- 4.The floor circuit repeats continuously, so pace yourself. You can't go all-out on round one and expect to maintain quality through the final rounds—build intensity as you go.
- 5.On the rower finisher, use the first minute to establish rhythm and power production with a controlled cadence. Save your highest stroke rate for the final minute when it matters most for distance.
