Sample PUMP CONDITION Training Day

Coach Note: 5 min on 1 min off x 2 vs 10 min AMRAP

What is the purpose of taking 1 minute rest between 5 minute intervals? Why not just go for 10 minutes straight? In theory, a 1 minute interval rest should provide you enough recovery time to increase the output of the subsequent 5 minute interval that follows. A slight increase in your power output means more work, more reps, all of high quality.

Does this actually pan out? It may or may not. However, simply seeing a rest period ahead always encourages me to push a little faster. Let it do the same for you.

Short on Time:
- Perform 2-3 minutes of Cardio at a high effort to get your breathing up, blood pumping, and a good sweat.
