Scaling: This is a posterior chain endurance workout. The goal here is to move with close-to-perfect form on both the swings and the run. The focus on the quality of movement will do two things for us: keep our minds focused on the present and what we're doing, and help us pace our effort in order to finish strong.
Since both these movements are cyclical, movement patterns are crucial for efficiency which translates to better intensity as we gain experience. So today, rather than focusing on finishing as fast as possible, try to focus on finishing feeling like your last 400-meter run was your best.
Use a kettlebell weight you can move comfortably. You should be able to perform the 50 reps unbroken but may break them up to help conserve energy and maintain good technique.
If you cannot run 400 meters in under 2:30, reduce the distance to 200 meters. If you’re new to running, you can perform a 200-meter jog/walk.
To replace the run entirely, use a bike and perform 800 meters. Avoid the rower today.
