So far, all 4 of the workouts programmed this year have been “for time.” That means we have been prioritizing the amount of work that is to be accomplished. We have set out a total amount of work to be done and you do it (scaled appropriately) as fast as you can manage. One “fun” part about this type of training, is that you can see the finish line. It gives you a clear idea of how much you need to do to get through everything and a goal to shoot for. Today’s workout gives you a set number of step ups and a total volume or running/rowing you must finish BUT the amount of push ups you can complete is up to YOU. If you “give up too easy” then you won’t put the necessary stress on your body to get better at push ups. But one this is clear- the ball is in your court when it comes to mustering the ambition to get MORE push ups done. This is done on purpose. Only YOU can bring on the drive and determination to do more. You win by getting in more work AND by summoning your inner drill sargeant, motivating yourself to get tough on your own. The coach wins by not having to play the bad guy! Do MORE Push ups!
