The engine work today should be done as a tempo run. If we are talking in terms of RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) and 10 is maximal effort, then these should be a 6-8. I’ve also heard tempo runs described as “comfortably hard.”

For the trunk work I need you to stop your clock whenever you take a rest. Try to complete it in as few sets as possible and give me 5 working minutes.

We are working on our ankles during the durability work. For all the tactical athletes out there, you may be the strongest person in the gym, but it means nothing if you’re hurt and can’t perform your job. As we add load and maneuver over uneven terrain we become very susceptible to injury, particularly if we aren’t actively working to mitigate it. You Ranger grads that walked sideways across the slope of every mountain in Dahlonega know what I’m talking about.
