MANCHU MILE

Beginning in the High By Room (HBR), select weight(s) to take upstairs for one lap around the track. After completing the lap, return weights to HBR and select new weights. Record each weight combination to ensure you meet the required amount of accumulated weight (Women must carry a total of 200# around the track. Men 400#).

- 25 minute cut off time. Strategy and speed are key.

- Utilize dynamax balls, plates, KBs and DBs. More weight= fewer laps.

- Never use the same weight combination twice.

LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP

At the track:

Row 200m/Run 200m (1 lap in outer lane)

KBS x 14/burpees x 14

Row 400m/Run 400m(2 laps)

KBS x 14/burpees x 14

Row 200m/Run  200m (1 lap)

KBS x 14/burpees x 14

Final Run time (in seconds) dictates how many jumping squats you owe (ie. if you run the 200m in :57, then you owe 57 jumping squats. So run fast).

In High Bay room:

Rest 2 mins in between each set of:

3-1 minute max ring dips (or holds). Hold ends when feet hit ground. Any time remaining in final hold will dictate how many pullups you owe.(ie. if your feet hit the ground at :28 seconds, then you owe 32 jpull-ups). If you dip, subtract last set of dips from 60 to get required pull-up count.

3-1 minute strict pull ups (or chin-up holds). Hold ends when arms break 90degrees. Final  pullup count in last set (hold time left) will dictate how many one-leg pushups you owe.

3-1 minute lateral dumbell holds. Hold ends when arms break parallel. Remaining time in last hold will dictate how many barbell rows you owe.
