Scaling
This couplet should be relatively heavy but still fast-paced. Just about all athletes can perform deadlifts and some version of a burpee. Reduce the loading so you can complete each set of deadlifts unbroken. If needed, reduce the number of burpees to a point that allows you to keep moving quickly and avoid excessive rest.

Compare to 201105.
Scaling:
Reduce the load on the back squat to allow you to keep moving for the full 20 seconds. For the L-sit, find a variation with which you can perform at least a 20-second hold. For the ring rows, find a foot position that allows you to complete 10 consecutive reps. Moving the feet farther away will increase the difficulty. If you are unable to kick up to a handstand, select a modification that allows you to develop strength in an inverted position.

Scaling:
Choose a load that is challenging but that you can complete unbroken for the first few rounds. As the reps and distances increase, plan on smaller sets with short breaks to maintain intensity for as long as possible.
Intermediate Option:
In 15 minutes, complete as much as possible of:
1 deadlift
50-m run
2 deadlifts
100-m run
3 deadlifts
150-m run
4 deadlifts
200-m run
Etc.
♀ 125 lb. ♂ 185 lb.
Beginner Option:

1 deadlift
50-m run
2 deadlifts
100-m run
3 deadlifts
150-m run
4 deadlifts
200-m run
Etc.

Scaling:
Reduce the reps and loading so you can complete each round quickly and in nearly unbroken sets. Each round should be a sprint, with rest occurring only in the 3 minutes between rounds. Reduce the total number of rounds to maintain speed rather than slogging through all 5.
