Workout Overview

Stimulus

Because we do not know what the open workouts will be, we'll be completing 3 versions of tri-sprint intervals during the open. These are low impact and will not interfere with the movements we may see on Fridays. With 4:00 on and 4:00 off, athletes should be working hard during each interval.

Scoring

Lowest round of shuttle run reps.

Movements

Bike and Shuttle Run | :90 or less.
Row | 1:00 or more of work.

The One | Teaching Focus

Recovery Effort 
During The Open we’ll be completing 3 different versions of “Tri Sprint Intervals”. The purpose here is to allow our athletes to maintain moderate intensity while allowing their muscular and nervous systems to recover from the peak performance intensity of the CrossFit Open workout from the previous day.

Workout
(21-57 minutes)

Look For

  • Shuttle Runs
  1. Stride Length and Frequency.
  2. Observe the length and frequency of the athletes' strides. The athlete  should be taking the same amount of strides each time. 
  • Row
  1. Arm Movement.
  2. Emphasize a smooth and controlled arm movement, with the elbows bending only after the legs have fully extended.
  3. Cue a straight chain path during the pull phase, avoiding unnecessary deviations.

  • Bike
  1. Pedal Technique.
    Emphasize a smooth and circular pedal stroke. Athletes should apply force not only during the downstroke but also through the entire pedal revolution.
  2. Cue pulling up on the pedals during the upstroke to engage the hamstrings and recruit more muscle groups.

  •  Post Workout Clean Up & Chat (57-60 Minutes)

Mindset

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence of the future” – Seneca

How often do we rush to the finish line… only to rush to find the next?It is in our nature to crave progress. It is also in our nature to be wary of complacency. This is where a misconception can form, leading to dark times. We live for the “future”, a finish line that we’ll never reach.

The aim is absolutely not to ignore the future… but to instead embrace the present. Let’s move past the logic of the “pursuit of happiness”, and embrace the breath in our lungs at this moment. Wherever we go today, let’s go with everything we got.

After Party
