Scaling:

This is a posterior chain endurance workout. The goal here is to move with close-to-perfect form on both the swings and the run. The focus on the quality of movement will do two things for us: keep our minds focused on the present and what we're doing, and help us pace our effort in order to finish strong.



Since both these movements are cyclical, movement patterns are crucial for efficiency which translates to better intensity as we gain experience. So today, rather than focusing on finishing as fast as possible, try to focus on finishing feeling like your last 400-meter run was your best.



Use a kettlebell weight you can move comfortably. You should be able to perform the 50 reps unbroken but may break them up to help conserve energy and maintain good technique.



If you cannot run 400 meters in under 2:30, reduce the distance to 200 meters. If you’re new to running, you can perform a 200-meter jog/walk.



To replace the run entirely, use a bike and perform 800 meters. Avoid the rower today.

Meet Guest Programmer – Michele Letendre: Dec. 4-17, 2023.

Run Ski Run

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.

Run 1,000 meters
Ski 500 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.

Today we have a longer chipper-style workout. Expect the kettlebell swings and knees-to-elbows to play off of each other in an interesting way. Use a kettlebell that allows you to perform each section in 2 sets or less. You should always be able to complete at least 5 knees-to-elbows throughout the workout. Aim to complete each run in 5 minutes or less. Work hard and have fun today.
