108 Gymnastic Conditioning

Key Takeaways

• The mechanical loading of burpees and box jump overs limits the number of reps we can safely do - about 150 reps per session.
• Because we are limited in volume, we want to do all of our burpees and box jump overs at race relevant paces - 15 reps per minute or faster.
• Use as short of a working interval as you need to achieve this race relevant pace, then gradually extend the intervals as you improve.
• Use endurance modalities to do more conditioning than you could with gymnastics movements alone.
