Ranch Loop WOD - Scaling & Strategy | CrossFit Games | PRZilla

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Endurance (8/10): For time: a 3-mile run through varying terrain. This is a significant test of pure running endurance, cardiovascular fitness, and the ability to adapt to changes in elevation and surface.

Stamina (7/10): Sustained running for 3 miles, especially over varied terrain, will test leg muscular endurance (quads, hamstrings, calves) and core stability to maintain form.

Speed (5/10): Maintaining a strong, consistent pace throughout the 3-mile varied terrain run is key to achieving a good time. Pacing strategy according to terrain changes is important.

Flexibility (2/10): Basic running mechanics require adequate hip and leg flexibility. Varied terrain may demand greater ankle/hip stability and adaptability.

Power (2/10): While uphill sections might require bursts of power, the overall WOD is dominated by aerobic endurance pacing.

Strength (1/10): Minimal maximal strength required; this is almost purely an endurance test focused on running over challenging terrain.
