Warm-up

5 min. Easy Jog
Shoulder Circuit
Pushup Pyramid
Hamstring Stretch v II ^

Technique

Running Form Practice
– Two foot bounce across the gym. 5 in place, 5 going forward
– Pull heel to butt 15 L&R
– Alternating heel to butt (running). 10 in place, then lean and run forward.
Metcon (Distance)

WOD

30 min. Run for Distance.

Result: 6625m (4+ miles)

I felt relatively strong the entire time. I don’t have mile splits, but the first one was roughly 7:27. The last one was a bit faster. Form started deteriorating during the last mile though. I was overstriding a good bit rather than keeping my stride short and fast. Still please with the performance given the fact that I haven’t done a long run in awhile.

Accessory

Back Squat

1×5@135
1×5@155
1×3@185
1×2@205
5×2@205

Felt easy. Nothing too crazy. Just wanted to get some weightlifting in this week since the WODs thus far haven’t been too lifting-focused.

Kipping Handstand Push-up (on Abmat)

6×2

These are really coming along! Starting to get the kip down pat. When I’m able to string together 10 or so, I’ll remove the abmat.

WOD

CrossFit Games Open 16.4 (AMRAP – Reps)
13-Minute AMRAP:
55 Deadlifts, 225# / 155#
55 Wall-Ball Shots, 20# / 14#
55 Calorie Row
55 Handstand Push-ups

Jeremey – 165 reps (11:05 TB)

My strategy here was to just make it through to the HS push-ups knowing I would get maybe one rep total there. The deadlifts blew me up. I started with a set of 10 and then shifted back to a more manageable 5 with a 5-count between sets. Did the same for the wall balls. Felt pretty gassed when I hit the rower. Quads were absolutely fried. Finally made it to the wall and couldn’t get a single one. Really really frustrating. Tomorrow begins a year of focusing solely on HS push-ups. Next year, I’m dominating them.
