WOD1: Broken 5K
5 rounds, each for time:
1000m run
2 minutes rest

Try to keep your times on each round within 3-5 seconds. That means holding back a bit on the first couple of rounds and then pushing it hard in the later rounds.

The 1000 meters would be 2½ laps around the track–or you can go to runningmap.com and chart a course on the paved roads on campus.
This will give you a pretty good idea of what is a sustainable time for running a kilometer. This will help you set a goal for next Sunday when you’re running 5 of them consecutively. On the course, there will be markers every half-kilometer to help you pace yourself.

 

WOD2: Back to the Rack
AMRAP in 8 minutes:
10 back squats, 85/55 (that means 85 lbs for men, 55 lbs for women)
6 burpees

 

If you choose to do these two WODs on the same day, leave at least 3 hours between them.

WOD: Three runs
Run 400m (from JAFH side door, around parking lot)
Rest 2 min.
Run 800m (to second IA driveway and back)
Rest 3 min.
Run 1600m (touch a pylon at edge of Grand Mall and come back)

In-class SWOD: Back squat 4-rep max
