Things to Consider
- 1.On the row block, focus on maintaining your watts as stroke rate decreases — lower stroke rate means longer, more powerful pulls through the legs and back.
- 2.During the tread endurance pushes, strategically lower your base pace between efforts to preserve energy for the longer push blocks; don't chase the same base pace as round 1.
- 3.Use the 2-minute tread run in the first floor block as genuine active recovery to bring your heart rate back down before jumping into the next rep round.
- 4.On the second floor block, the cobra with shoulder mobility is your active recovery window — don't rush it; use it to decompress and prepare for the next round.
- 5.This switch template demands mental toughness with multiple transitions; pace yourself conservatively in blocks 1-3 so you have energy for the final floor block and can complete all four rounds.
