Work Capacity

Warm Up:
30, 20 reps of
MB Thrusters

2) Complete the following on the minute for 10 minutes
6 Sand Bag Get Ups  60lbs (3L/3R)


These circuits are called DENSITY workouts. Unlike a 30 sec work/ 30 sec rest format, density training makes you earn your rest by how quickly you push yourself through the prescribed exercises.  For example, if you finish all 6 SB Get ups in 30 sec, then you have 30 sec rest until the next round starts.  However, if you finish 6 SB Get Ups in 55 sec, then you only have 5 sec until the next round begins.

STAMINA






For those of you who follow our training, we have just ended a strength building cycle and are now shifting gears after a short de-loading phase.

Today's Workout is a Long-Slow Distance Stamina Effort.  This is a ruck march, slow jog, stair climb with hose pack, brisk walk with incline on the treadmill, etc..

Long slow distance training serves two very important purposes. First, it makes the athlete much more efficient using their fat burning metabolism, meaning they can go farther and faster.  Second, long, slow, distance work trains recovery.  Connective tissue is strengthened, muscle endurance improved, etc... Intense, hybrid, interval work does a good job at preparing an athlete to go long for a single event, but it does not prepare them to recover from that event if they have to do another long event the next day. Only volume training trains recovery.  ---www.militaryathlete.com
