Workout 1 5 sets: 5sec gradual acceleration to 100% 3sec sprint at 100% Full recovery b/t reps & sets Rest 3-5min 5-minutes at max effort Must be scored in SW by Friday, December 3 Score Record total cals Must be scored in SugarWod by Friday, December 3
Workout 1: 6x (4min moderate, 1min rest) Notes: Record your cals in your first interval. The goal is to match this same quantity of cals for intervals 2-6. Although you're allowed to look at the monitor during the 1st interval, you are only allowed to look at the monitor after finishing the subsequent 4min intervals. A perfect pace match (or zero points) occurs when your first interval cals equals your quantity of cals in the remaining intervals. A perfect pace match earn zero ("0") points. Missing by 1 cal (faster or slower) gives you 1 point. Missing by 12 cals (faster or slower) gives you 12 points. Points only accumulate. Lowest point score wins!
