WOD Guidance:
Following up “Tommy V” on Friday, we have a the hero WOD Capoot today. This workout is composed entirely of two movements: running and push-ups. For most of us, the way that we modify this workout will be to reduce volume on push-ups. A good reduction might be to 80-60-40-20 for each set of push-ups, or even 60-45-30-15 for athletes that need even less volume. All our usual options are available for scaling push-ups today. For those athletes that are super limited by their core strength, we can also consider doing dumbbell floor presses or bench presses. All the runs today should be done at a moderate pace, except for the last one. On that last run we can only improve our score, so it makes sense to go as hard as possible, because we have nothing left to pace for.
