Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Endurance (9/10): For time: 2000m run, 500m swim, 2000m run, with a 40-min cap. This is a long-distance endurance event testing cardiovascular fitness and pacing across two distinct modalities, with longer runs than the other 'Run Swim Run'. Swimming proficiency is a major factor.

Stamina (8/10): Sustained effort in running (4000m total) and swimming (500m) will test leg muscular endurance and full-body swimming muscular endurance. Core stability is important for both.

Speed (5/10): Maintaining a strong, consistent pace across all three segments and managing transitions efficiently is crucial for a good time. Pacing strategy for the long duration is key.

Flexibility (3/10): Requires basic running mechanics and good shoulder/thoracic mobility for efficient swimming strokes.

Strength (2/10): Minimal maximal strength required. Focus is entirely on endurance capacity and efficient movement in running and swimming. Swimming relies on specific strength endurance.

Power (2/10): While strong strides/strokes have a power component, the overall WOD is dominated by aerobic endurance pacing rather than maximal power output per effort.
