Most of us get caught up in the race environment, go beyond our limits and end up fighting for survival.
Burpee broad jumps are a station most of us dread. Whether you’re doing them for the first time in a race environment or they’ve always been a weakness, here are a few tips to keep you in control:
1️⃣ Pace your reps from the start
Find a pace you can maintain rather than going too hard from the start.
2️⃣ Rest for 2-3 seconds at the bottom
Use that bottom position to recover rather than standing.
3️⃣ Standing too long for just 1 rep
Continuous reps over wasting time for just 1 rep because you’ve gassed yourself out.
If you’re doing doubles, at you need to complete your distance before swapping with your partner on the rower or go straight into your 1km finish.
The goal is to stay controlled, keep your rhythm and avoid leaving your partner waiting too long before they can do their rep.
Don’t just survive the final zone. Finish the race strong.
