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.

Guest Programmer – Christian Harris

50-40-30 reps for time of:
GHD sit-ups
Calories on the ski erg
* Complete a 100-foot handstand walk after each set.

Scaling:
Today’s workout will test your ability to handstand walk under a good amount of midline fatigue. The goal here is to keep your sets on the GHD sit-ups to 4 sets or less and ski-erg calories at a pace that allows you to kick up into the handstand walk with minimal transition time. Consider modifying the handstand walk to either a bear crawl for the same distance or 5-4-3 reps of wall walks. Some may experience a bit of “vertigo” due to the repetitive up-and-down movements. If you don’t have experience with this combination of movements, consider reducing the reps of the sit-ups and calories on the ski erg, and the distance on the handstand walk.

Intermediate option:
30-20-10 reps for time of:
GHD sit-ups to parallel
Calories on the ski erg
* Complete a 50-foot handstand walk after each set.

Beginner option:
20-15-10 reps for time of:
Sit-ups
Calories on the ski erg
* Complete a 50-foot bear crawl after each set.
