Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (9/10): A total of 1.75 miles of running with a 20/14 lb medicine ball, combined with high-volume burpee pull-ups, makes this an extreme cardiovascular and muscular endurance test.
- Stamina (9/10): 105 total burpee pull-ups will severely tax full-body muscular stamina (pushing, pulling, jumping). Running with a medicine ball adds significant stamina demand to the core and upper body.
- Strength (6/10): Burpee pull-ups require good relative bodyweight strength. Carrying a medicine ball for over a mile also has a strength endurance component.
- Power (6/10): The burpee jump and the pull-up kip are explosive. Maintaining power output through such high volume is challenging.
- Speed (5/10): Maintaining a good pace on the loaded runs and cycling efficiently through burpee pull-ups is key. Pacing is crucial for this long, demanding WOD.
- Flexibility (3/10): Basic mobility for running, burpees, and pull-ups. Holding the medicine ball might challenge thoracic mobility for some.
