METCON
Ruck Prep — 4 Sets:
10 min AMRAP — Ruck @ 35/30lbs for Max Distance @ strong sustainable pace
Rest 3 min between sets
Pace should be a run/trot pace while staying sustainable for all sets. Adjust loading as needed to maintain.
Logistics: Most ruck progressions are built around a 75-90 min time structure. For 60 min class, perform 3 sets instead of 4. This leads to lower volume in preparation for the race.
Target: Increase in volume from 2 weeks ago. Find a strong but sustainable pace for each interval. Try to hold the same pace from 2 weeks ago for this longer duration. Scaling: Lower/remove loading entirely, or reduce work interval volume for more rest.
COOLDOWN
Active Recovery:
5 min Cool-Down Walk — Nasal Breathing Only. Every minute hold your exhale for 10-15 seconds, then return to normal nasal breathing.
EXTRA CREDIT

RPE based on the day AND the total volume (not individual sets). Total volume = 4,800m. If weather doesn't permit outdoor running, use treadmill or swap any machine for similar distances.
Time Cap: 42 min. Run Substitute: Row/Ski 500m, C2 Bike 800m, Echo Bike 1000m.
A balanced blend of strength, conditioning, and variety. Combines bodybuilding, Hyrox-inspired training, endurance sessions, and classic CrossFit metcons. Built for the everyday gym goer who wants engagement, progression, and fun.
MONDAY

A2. Single Leg Standing Banded Hip Abduction × 15 reps/side — Rest remainder of interval
Use 80-85% of your 8RM from Week 1
Strength Notes: Unilateral lower body strength focus. Maintain same weight across all RFE split squats — 80-85% of heaviest weight from last week. If balance is a challenge, remove rear foot elevation and perform traditional split squat. On hip abductions, drive leg out from the hip rather than leaning to one side.
CONDITIONING
Upper Body Conditioning — On a running clock:
0-6: AMRAP — 2, 4, 6, 8, 10... Strict Pull-ups + Single DB Pullover 50/35lbs (22.5/15kg)

8-14: AMRAP — 2, 4, 6, 8, 10... Strict Dip + Single Arm Ring Row/side
Scaled: Use band for strict pull-ups, lower DB weight, perform dips on Matador/box/bench
Feel: Upper body strength-endurance
Target: Focus on high quality reps within each AMRAP rather than speed. Perform more like strength-endurance than a metcon. Reps don't have to be unbroken, but stay unbroken through first 3 rounds to hit intended stimulus.
POST-CONDITIONING
3 Sets (8 min cap):
A1. Alternating V-ups × 8-10/side — Rest 30s

A2. Seated Box Jump × 1.1.1 — Rest 5s — Rest 2 min
HPC: Use 80-85% of cluster loading from Week 1. Focus on strong, powerful reps. Drop and reset between each rep. Seated box jump: sit at near or below parallel and jump to a taller box. Rest 5s between reps to maximize power output. Maintain similar weight across all sets. If not performed last week, use RPE 7.
CONDITIONING — CLASSIC CROSSFIT

Set 3 @ 90-100% effort
Scaled/Beginner: 600/500m Row, 1500/1200m Echo Bike, rest 2 min. Row Substitute: 750/650m Ski, 1500/1300m C2 Bike, 600m Run. Echo Bike Substitute: same options.
Target: Long aerobic conditioning interval with goal of hitting and maintaining negative splits. Get faster with each set — feeling good coming off first set rather than pushing each to limits. 2 min rest should be just enough to catch breath and settle into stronger pace. Feel: Aerobic endurance, increasing intensity.

CONDITIONING — INTERVAL WEIGHT TRAINING
4 Sets for Time (20 min cap):
10 Front Squats — 115/80lbs (52/36kg)

Beginner: 8 Front Squats 75/55lbs (35/25kg), 8 Box Step Ups 24/20"
Echo Bike Substitute: any machine or shuttle runs
Target: Front squat weight tough in later sets but athletes should complete unbroken for most of workout. Legs will be fatigued going into box jumps — focus on powerful jump and landing high on box to save legs. Bike at strong, repeatable pace throughout. Feel: Lower body muscle and aerobic endurance.
POST-CONDITIONING STRENGTH
Every 4 min × 3 Sets:
A1. Single DB Push Press × 10 reps w/ 1s pause overhead/side — Rest 30s
A2. Single Arm DB Bent Over Row × 10 reps w/ 2s eccentric/side — Rest remainder of interval
Load for both movements: 8-9/10 RPE
Strength Notes: Working on pushing and pulling with focus on isometric and eccentric control. Pause overhead on push press creates strength and stability at end range of shoulder flexion. Eccentric lower on rows recruits lats more by adding time under tension.
COOLDOWN

A1. Russian Twist × 10 reps/side

Target: Sundays this cycle include a progression towards a 5K run. Find a tough but sustainable pace across today's piece. RPE is based on the total session, not each individual run, so athletes should only struggle to hold the pace in the last few sets. If unsure, be conservative today and build on the pace in future weeks. Feel: Long aerobic endurance.
