We called this workout Outer Banks bc it's all about water and sand. And you'll need to pretend you're in a beautiful place to get this done.
This workout is going to focus on specific needs of the Team Assessment today as you continue your training.
- 12m = appx 39 feet = 2 average driveway lengths
- 25m = appx 82 feet = 4 average driveway lengths
This is the distance your burden walks will take you today. Of course, you can measure out the distance elsewhere or just make it approximate. It's your training - you'll know if you're CTHT or not.
Rest is included in this workout. All caps, so get ready: USE IT. Rest is another secret weapon to build gains and is used strategically to refill muscles and prolong endurance. This workout is not hurry-up-and-wait -- it's slow, it's deliberate and it's intentional. So be all three of those things. Keep perfect form, keep core engaged, keep following your training.
