Coaching Tips: Hit the clean and jerks at a fast pace, but only if you are moving well and your technique is on point. Fast singles will be the ticket for most people. These should be completed in 3 minutes or less. That said, the load should be heavy enough that you can’t finish these in under 90 seconds. Start your run at your mile pace and hold on as long as possible. If you run longer than a mile (1600m), note your time on your training log.
Optional ‘Cash Out’: 12 Russian Kb swings, 8 burpees, 4 minutes
