The Board
Murph prep Monday continues, this week we are adding in some longer runs to get ready for those miles at the start and end of the work-out. We will be working up to a mile in the coming weeks and incorporating some vested work.
The Warm-Up
The Strength
You will have 12:00 to work through the strength section as many times as you are able. The strength is just a primer to get you ready for the WOD.Tempo Bench Press means you are slowing down the lowering (eccentric phase) of the lift. You will take 0:03 to lower the bar, no pause at your chest, 0:01 to get it up, 0:01 pause at the top before your next rep.You will follow the same tempo for the Bent Over Reverse Fly. Keep these light! Focus on pulling the shoulder blades together without having to heave the weight up.
The Met-Con
When you go out for your first run, take a look at the clock when you return. You will want to give yourself this much time (or more) to do your final run in order to get in the door before the time cap. If you don't have that much time, scale accordingly.For those running the 1200m distance:
- Stay tight to the left side of the road and run all the way to the end of Morse Drive. You will continue left, down the side walk until you see 600 spray painted on the ground.
Be sure to cross the street on your way back, regardless of the run distance you are doing, and stay tight to the left hand side of the road.You will then do 5 Rounds of:Ab Mat Sit-UpsPush-Ups
- Use this as a time to build push-up strength. We want full range of motion, perfect reps. Elevate them to achieve if needed.
Walking LungesAfter the 5 rounds, go out for one final run.
