Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (9/10): A 1000m run buy-in and cash-out, sandwiching a very high-volume bodyweight chipper (100 Push-Ups, 200 Sit-Ups, 300 Air Squats). This is an extreme test of cardiovascular and muscular endurance over a long duration.
- Stamina (9/10): Performing 100 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, and 300 air squats between two 1km runs will exhaust pushing, core, and leg muscular stamina to an incredible degree.
- Speed (5/10): Maintaining a strong running pace for the buy-in/out and efficiently cycling through the very high-volume bodyweight movements with consistent pacing is key for overall time.
- Strength (2/10): Primarily a test of relative bodyweight strength endurance. No external load beyond bodyweight.
- Flexibility (2/10): Requires basic mobility for running, push-ups, sit-ups, and squats.
- Power (1/10): Minimal power demand; focus is on sustained endurance and high-volume bodyweight stamina over a very long total time.
