*you have no business wearing the vest if you do not have your pullups down. Do not be offended, this is for safety reasons. Check your ego at the door. We have target times and time caps for a reason, if you are not making those target times you need to motify your workout and don’t need a vest.

TARGET SCORE

• Target Time each set: 2 minutes

• Time cap each set: 3 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS

• How to Pace: STEADY!

Last Murph prep before the big workout. We are taking a slightly different approach this time. Instead, the workout begins with some moderate-distance run intervals; then, we go into 3 big sets of gymnastics movements. For part 1, focus on steady breathing while relaxing the upper body. Part 2 is all about the gas pedal, where we stay aggressive on sets and hang on tight. It’s all with a vest so get comfortable.

• How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE!

The first one is just to get the legs moving and do endurance work, while the second is a body pump session.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

• Run: The first run should be the slowest of the 3. Moderate pacing across for each of the 400m runs. The goal should be around 90% of the intended mile pace for Murph. Make sure you relax your grip and shoulders as you run.

• Pull-ups: 1-2 sets is a great aim, you get a decent rest, so no need to be overly cautious.

• Push Ups: 2-3 sets would be a great goal while staying aggressive on the rest.

• Squats: As always, these should be smooth and steady at a non-stop pace across.
