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.

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.
