Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): 100 burpees is a high-volume, full-body movement that heavily taxes muscular endurance. The runs add to leg stamina demands.
- Endurance (7/10): Performing 100 burpees with mandatory 200m runs every 2 minutes creates a significant cardiovascular challenge, testing endurance and recovery between efforts.
- Speed (6/10): Maintaining a quick pace on the runs and cycling burpees efficiently to minimize the impact of the 2-minute interruptions is key.
- Power (5/10): The jump in the burpee is an explosive movement. Maintaining power output for 100 reps, interspersed with runs, is challenging.
- Strength (2/10): Primarily a bodyweight endurance test; minimal maximal strength required.
- Flexibility (2/10): Basic mobility for burpees (hip flexion, chest to deck) and running.
Modality Profile
A couplet of a gymnastics movement (Burpee) and a monostructural movement (Run), with the runs acting as an interruption. The stimulus is evenly split between G and M.
