This weeks WOW is called pre-fatigued running.  It’s meant to simulate the last mile of a 5k (when it’s the hardest).  This IS a challenging, but rewarding wow .

On a piece of paper, write down the following movements:

  1. Burpee  (do this for 1:30 straight, rest for 30 seconds and move IMMEDIATELY on to #2 below)
  2. Air Squat (do this for 1:30 straight, rest for 30 seconds and move IMMEDIATELY  on to #3 below)
  3. Complete a run using this chart:
If   your 5k Road Race Time is (see below):

Distance to Run
30 Minutes + ¼ mile out and come back (1/2 mi   total)
24 to 29 Minutes 1/3 mile out and come back (2/3 mi   total)
Under 24 Minutes ½ Mile out and come back (1 mile   total)

*NOTE, this run should be at your race pace, it’s meant to be difficult!

 

Upon completion of this set, rest 2:00 minutes and IMMEDIATELY repeat for a total of 3 rounds.

This week’s wow will test your ability to pace yourself.  As we all know, pace is KING in racing.  Walking the fine line between too fast and fast enough to be sustainable is key.  Learning where your line is can be paramount for your PR’s in OCR.  This is a great WOW to do a couple times this week.  See if you can improve your time each time you do it.  Aroo!

Print the worksheet , fill in the following movements and get ready to rock this wow!

  1. Air Squats
  2. Super Plank (1 rep= Go down & up leading with right hand, then down & up leading with left hand)
  3. Split Jumps
  4. Scissor Kicks
  5. Bear Crawls  (Measure out 10 paces.  Each length = 1 rep)

Finish out this WOW with 2-3 miles of trail running (Ok ok, you can use the road.  IF YOU MUST)!
