Workout of the Day – 16.4 TBC – Wildly Speculate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9b6mMMMEug Information Weightlifting is cancelled this Saturday morning in order to accommodate the extra heats required to get our massive team through all the heats Kids is back this Saturday at 11.15 with the usual gang.

Workout of the Day Run 1,600 meters Rest 3 minutes Run 1,200 meters Rest 2 minutes Run 800 meters Rest 1 minute Run 400 meters Cherry Picking - Some thoughts Today's WOD might not look fun: it has limited skill; there are no gymnastics; there is no sexy barbell stuff. You don't get to chalk up, put on your knee sleeves, kinesio tape, wrist wraps, headband etc. It's just you and the workout. Running is every bit a part of your general fitness - humans are bipedal predators, massively dependent on locomotion as a necessary part of life and proficiency in running is therefore a highly desirable trait for a human being. Running is a functional movement on a par with squatting, deadlifting and pressing and best showcases our ability to move large loads, long distances quickly. Many of you will see running and think: "I'm s**t at running; so I'm not going to bother" - you need the volume and the practice. Spend some time on your feet and set some scores for future reference. "I'm a good runner; I won't get much out of this" - you will arguably benefit most - the intensity will be raised significantly by competing against the others and you will get to test what you can really do. This should not be fun (until afterwards) and you should be genuinely afraid at times that your heart might burst. Also, don't worry if you're injured and can't run. You can row.   Information [...]
