Workout of the day

5 rounds for time of:
200-meter swim
2-minute rest between rounds

We score workouts that have a programmed rest after the round by the time at the end of the last round of work. In this case after the 5th swim is the time of completion. The rest periods sandwiched in-between are all counted towards the total time. The last 2-minutes of rest is not included in total time and is not added to the score. Use a running clock, and lap as needed. 

Practice breathing - breath out under water continuously, breath in above water quickly
Practice kicking - lead from the hips and sweep the feet oppositely instead of kicking 
Practice pulling and rolling - keep the torso long and roll while reaching as far forward as possible, switching arms quickly and rolling to the other side. 

Workout at home

5 rounds for time of:
400-meter runs
2-minutre rest between rounds

Sub a walk or reduce the distance to something that can be completed faster than 3-minute per round.

Workout of the day

Complete as many rounds as possible in 45-minutes of:
800-meter run
10 Deadlifts
800-meter run
50 sit-ups

W: 215lb
M: 315lb

The first part of this workout to notice is the duration of 45-minutes. This is a long time domain. Now take a look at the amount of running per round. That is 1-mile total. Consider your mile time and then add a few minutes to it. That how much time you have to work on the deadlifts and sit-ups. The third part of this workout is the deadlift. The deadlift is heavy but low to moderate reps if you can get a few rounds in. Scale this load to something you can do 10 unbroken reps when fresh and expect that after a 800-meter run that it will likely take 2-3 sets or even fast singles. A load that is not appropriate for this workout is a load so heavy that you have to wait a while after the run to start lifting, or the breaks between sets are long, almost to point of full recovery. Run a pace that allows you to grab and go. Use a load that doesn't leave you waiting to be fresh to lift. Sit-ups. Nice. These will be sneaky, running requires a lot of stabilization and unilateral work through the hip. The deadlift is similar but with both legs and hip extension focused. What the these exercises do not have, the sit-up will, and there is a moderate to large amount of them. 

Workout at home

45-minutes of:
400-meter run/walk
10 ground to overheads, with a backpack
400-meter run/walk
35 sit-ups

This version at home is reduced in volume per round as a scaled version of the original workout. Increase the reps of the sit-ups or distance of the runs to increase difficulty. Further scale this workout by reducing the working time to 35 or 20-minutes instead of 45.
