Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (8/10): For time: 2-mile run, 16 burpees, 85 box step-ups (20/16 in), all while wearing a very heavy (50/30 lb) weight vest or bunker gear. This is a significant test of loaded cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance.
- Stamina (8/10): Performing a 2-mile run, burpees, and 85 box step-ups with a 50/30lb vest will severely tax full-body muscular stamina, especially legs and core, under constant heavy load.
- Strength (7/10): The 50/30 lb vest adds a very significant constant strength demand to all movements, particularly the run and step-ups. This is a major test of strength under load and fatigue.
- Speed (4/10): Maintaining a strong running pace with the heavy vest and cycling efficiently through burpees and step-ups is key. Pacing for the overall effort under such load is critical.
- Power (3/10): Burpees have an explosive component, amplified by the vest, but the WOD's emphasis is on sustained endurance under extreme load.
- Flexibility (2/10): Basic mobility for running, burpees, and step-ups. The heavy vest might restrict torso movement and challenge posture.
