Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Endurance (8/10): A squat buy-in, then 4 rounds of a 300m run and varied bodyweight exercises (Navy SEAL push-ups, sit-ups, strict pull-ups), followed by a burpee buy-out. This creates a significant test of cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
Stamina (8/10): High total volume of Navy SEAL push-ups (60 reps), sit-ups (92 reps), and strict pull-ups (28 reps), combined with running and burpees, will heavily tax pushing, core, and pulling stamina.
Strength (5/10): Strict pull-ups and Navy SEAL push-ups (a more challenging push-up variation) require good relative bodyweight strength. The focus is on endurance of these strength components.
Speed (5/10): Maintaining a good running pace and cycling efficiently through the bodyweight exercises and burpees is key for overall time.
Power (3/10): Burpees have an explosive component, but the WOD is primarily focused on sustained endurance and controlled bodyweight strength movements.
Flexibility (2/10): Requires basic mobility for running, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and burpees.
