A Strong and Steady Start to the Day

We tackled a tough strength-focused workout today, blending rowing and running with floor exercises.
The treadmill portion had a straightforward structure: four 5-minute rounds. Each round started with a 350-meter push on the rower, followed by running at our own pace for the remaining time. The challenge was to run farther with each round, leaving us with two main strategies—push harder on the rower to earn more running time or up our pace on the treadmill.
Once we completed the treadmill rounds, we moved to the floor for another four 5-minute blocks. Each block was divided into four rounds of 75 seconds. In each round, we aimed to complete a set number of reps for a given exercise, using any extra time for recovery. However, in the final round of each block, recovery was replaced with high-plank cross-body knee drives until the clock ran out.
It was a workout that kept us focused, pushing ourselves harder with every block!
