You might think I have lost my mind a bit on this one, but some of you are just as crazy as I am and can probably finish this piece. The double minute of burpees and snatches make you switch gears and move fast, and that alone is enough to spike your heart rate and breathing to a whole new level. Coach's Notes: -Make the bike take 50 Seconds -Double Unders Unbroken is a great goal -Snatches might be broken up into two sets... if you have the time.

Core and grip are gonna leave the chat somewhere in round 3. This is a brutal piece. I want you to aim for only 1 break on toes-to-bar the whole way through. That's your focus today. Push the runs hard, since that's your start each round. Hanging on to the step overs is going to be a huge challenge!
