Workout Description
Warm Up SOP plus:20 lateral lunge 20 high kicks 20 russian twists 20/14 2 minute AAStrength /Skill: 2:00 Max double-under 1:00 Break 1:30 Max burpee 1:00 Break 1:00 Max wallball 20/14 ( log in sugar wod)Metabolic Conditioning :5 k run!!!Refer to todays picture and study your urban Navigation. Also, before we all runaway from this 5k.... Training in Aerobic Thresholds are a part of how we train and why. Our love and integration of Olympic Lifts in CrossFit and this gym is designed to enhance short twitch fibers and your lactate threshold! We train in various domains of time so that we can operate at a peak level for longer . Put it to the test today and PR your 5k! We dont do this often and many will not have a record before or an old one. Lets put your training , mindset and dedication to the test !
Why This Workout Is Medium
The skill portion (max DUs, burpees, wallballs) has built-in rest and serves more as activation than true fatigue accumulation. The 5K run is the real test — roughly 22-30 minutes of continuous aerobic work for the average CrossFitter. No external loading makes it accessible, but many CrossFit athletes underperform on sustained running. Pre-fatigue from the skill sets adds modest challenge. Aerobically demanding but not crushing — solidly Medium.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (9/10): The 5K run is the dominant stimulus, a pure aerobic endurance test. Combined with the max-effort interval work beforehand, cardiovascular capacity is heavily taxed throughout the entire session.
- Stamina (6/10): Max reps of double-unders, burpees, and wallball challenge muscular endurance in the legs and upper body, and the 5K sustains that demand over an extended aerobic output.
- Flexibility (4/10): Lateral lunges and high kicks in the warm-up require meaningful hip flexor and hamstring mobility. Wallball demands squat depth, making flexibility more relevant than a typical running-only workout.
- Speed (4/10): Max-effort intervals for double-unders, burpees, and wallball reward fast cycling and quick transitions. However, the 5K shifts the primary demand to aerobic pacing rather than sprint output.
- Power (3/10): Double-unders require neuromuscular coordination and timing, burpees have a plyometric component, and wallball is inherently explosive, but the 5K centerpiece suppresses overall power demand significantly.
- Strength (2/10): Wallball at 20/14 provides minor loading stimulus, but the session is overwhelmingly bodyweight and aerobic in nature with no meaningful maximal strength demand present.

Modality Profile
7 total movements: Gymnastics (5) = Lateral Lunge, High Knees, Russian Twist, Double-Under, Burpee — all bodyweight movements; Monostructural (1) = Run; Weightlifting (1) = Wall Ball (medicine ball = external load). Raw split is ~71/14/14, rounded to 80/10/10 to reach 100% while reflecting G's strong dominance and equal weighting of the single M and W movements.
