"Dubstep"
3 Rounds:
80 Double Unders
800 Meter Run
3 Rope Climbs (15')
Time Cap: 25 Minutes
Same as class
Dubstep is known for it's BPM range of 132-142, and if you're pacing properly, you'll become very familiar with this same tempo as you chip your way through each of 3 parts in today's conditioning. This one requires an ability to hold a higher heart rate for a long period of time without letting it get away from you. Athletes should aim to find paces and breaking strategies on their double unders and rope climbs that allow them to maximize their recovery between reps/sets but that does not cause them to have to stop making progress or working to failure.
Time to complete work.
Double Unders | 4:00 or less.
Run| 17:00 or less.
Rope Climbs | 6:00 or less.

A workout like this one shouldn’t require any significant logistical considerations. However, you will want to consider the run route for the day and ensure that all your classes run the same route. For most gyms, a 400m loop run 2 times will likely be the best option today.

Hold the handles of the jump rope with a relaxed grip.
The grip should be towards the end of the handles, allowing for better control and wrist movement.
Keep the elbows close to the body, pointing downward.
Hands should be slightly in front of the body so that you can see them in your peripheral vision while looking forward.
Focus on timing wrist speed
Focus on wrist rotation and quicken the pace of thejump rope
Focus on enhancing footwork and coordination.

Look For
Good positioning. Athletes hands should be down and slightly in front of them. Cue athletes to spin quick with the wrists. Cue athletes to jump straight up and keep from tucking or piking their feet. Encourage athletes to keep their hands down and in front of their body and to maintain straight legs as they jump.
Foot Strike. Midfoot or forefoot strike is generally preferred over a heavy heel strike. Knee Lift and Stride Length. Adequate knee lift with each stride. Stride length should be comfortable and natural.Avoid overstriding (landing too far in front of the body) or understriding. Encourage a light, quick, and efficient foot turnover.
Sequence. Cue athletes to follow the reach, tuck, clamp, stand sequence to maximize efficiency on their rope climb.

“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut” - Dr. Suess
This quote is worth reading twice.
We are creatures of habit. We enjoy our routines. From the morning rituals, to the way we warm up for a workout, to our regimented diets and food plans.
Although dialing in the routine is a great thing, it’s important that we remind ourselves to “keep our eyes open.” What Dr. Suess’s quote alludes to is an open mind. Even when we feel we’ve found exactly what works for us, we must resist the urge to close our eyes and ears to new ideas.
There is so much to learn, experience, and challenge ourselves with. That is, if we only keep our eyes open to do so.
Always a student.
