Hey Team,
Take a peek at the video below of Australian sprint cyclist Shane Perkins. It’s a pretty neat view into the fine tuning of a very high performing athlete. Note the attention to detail and the support that he has to get to his best performance.

Now turn that same lens onto yourself and your health and performance. We may not want to achieve incredibly high levels of performance but we should be striving for maximum health. Think about the support crew that you have around you that is helping (or hindering) your pursuit of optimum vitality.
Are there things that you should be doing that you aren’t? Are you training well but eating or sleeping poorly? Are you proactive with things like medical treatment and body upkeep?
I know I can improve in some areas and I feel that optimum health will escape me until I do… what are your thoughts?

Today’s Workout
Buy-in: Full warm-up prior to class – and include some rolling/massage ball – does the addition of this make you feel better to take on the WOD?
WOD: “Block Rock”
NOT for time (but maintain a steady pace at around 80% effort throughout):
4 rounds of –
- 500m run
- 12 KB/DB presses per arm (35/55 – no leg drive, body lean is okay)
- 12 ring rows (chest to hands each rep, body parallel with ground, PLEASE quality reps!)
- 12 toes to bar
- end the whole workout with one last 500m run (you will do 5 x 500m runs in total!)
Zone 2 – scale run to 400m, presses and ring rows as needed, sub double crunch for ttb
Zone 1 – scale workout as needed
