REST WEEK
If you have been doing the programing as scheduled, you should need it.  This will set you up to start our strength emphasis cycle next week.


Our Gym competed in the Colorado Springs CrossFit Competition. Our athletes did a great job. They grabbed 4 of the top 9 spots....more than any other gym. Even though we do not train to compete in competitions, it was interesting to see how we compare to other athletes.

Jump Squat
Ball Slams
2x Seated Russian Twists w/ 25lbs

3) Run 3 Miles

This is the same session as last Wednesday's Stamina.  However, I switched the 1 Mile Run w/ 25lbs to the beginning of the session and the 3 miles run at the end.  These Stamina cycles are very demanding and intense, but that is why we keep them at 2 weeks rather than 3 weeks like we do with the Strength and Work Capacity cycles. We also have a complete rest week following our 2 week stamina cycle, which will be next week.  Stay focused and train hard -- David

The tempo of this should be like a regular work capacity session, we are just going a little longer.
Make sure you have your dumbbells set up before the warm up, so you can jump right into the dumbbell complex after the mile run.  Extended Duration Work Capacity sessions not only condition us physically, but work our Mental Fitness as well.   Always keep that goal in mind when your mind wants to start making deals with you to shorten your training.
