Scaling:
Today’s workout is a twist on the classic benchmark workout, Nancy. The weight starts heavy, but as the reps increase, the weight decreases. We’ll start with the barbell on the ground, which means you must be able to safely snatch it — reduce the load if this is not possible as written. The first barbell should be challenging, but you should be able to hold it overhead for an unbroken set. Some athletes may be able to go unbroken in the remaining sets — if you have to break, it should only be once. Keep the runs to 2:15 or less.

Run Ski Run
For time:
Run 1 mile
Ski 500 meters
Run 1 mile

Post time to comments.

Goal: 20 minutes of work.

Run Swim Run was a 2017 CrossFit Games event where athletes ran a course around the venue and swam in Lake Monona in Madison, Wisconsin. In today’s workout, we’re replacing the swim with the ski erg.

This workout is about aerobic capacity and technical endurance. The ski erg will feel like a nice break but be careful not to become complacent.

To improve your run pace, focus on posture. Imagine a string holding you up from the top of your head pulling your neck up and lifting your chin. In contrast, your shoulders should feel lower and your hands relaxed.

If you did the running intervals two weeks ago, you’ll have a good idea of your speed. A trick for this one could be to average your times on the 400-meter runs and add 10 seconds to your pace in order to sustain the effort for the next mile.

Scaling:

Intermediate option:
For time:
Run 1,000 meters
Ski 500 meters
Run 1,000 meters

Beginner option:
For time:
Run 800 meters
Ski 350 meters
Run 800 meters

To build cardiovascular endurance, adjust the distances to allow jogging, running, or walking within the time domain. The running should take no more than 16 minutes in total. Move continuously on the ski erg. Aim for no more than 4 minutes on the ski erg.
