Choose a running distance that can be completed in approximately 12 minutes. Less- experienced swimmers should consider planning a brief rest interval during the swim. More- experienced athletes should strive to sustain a steady pace throughout the workout. If you do not have access to a pool, ocean, or lake, sub for a bike of similar duration, about 3 miles.

We are due for a little circuit work. Circuit training is an excellent test
of your overall fitness. At CrossFit intensities it becomes debilitating.
We use it sparingly and go all out! This is "combat" or "getting out of
the burning building" fitness.
Decide loads and assistance (if absolutely necessary to get ALL reps)
before starting. Be smart, shelve your ego and shoot for rapid completion
with NO rest. Submit record of total time, weights for each lift, and
assistance (if needed on pull-ups and dips). Set up recording sheet
ahead of time. Rip!!

If you’re new to rucking or a newer athlete, move at a march pace and reduce the distance to complete the run or ruck in no more than 35 minutes. If you’re more experienced, feel free to pick up the pace. For the 4-mile run option, consider your recent 5K run effort and attempt to hold a slightly more manageable pace. For clarity, the run option is meant to be completed without load.
Intermediate option:
