10 Mentally Challenging CrossFit Workouts with Running

Fast and Heavy

For Time:

• 21 Dumbbell Thrusters
• 400 meter Run
• 18 Dumbbell Thrusters
• 400 meter Run
• 15 Dumbbell Thrusters
• 400 meter Run

The weight of the dumbbell is your choice for this workout; go for one that feels heavy but still allows you to move fast. You should be able to complete each round of thrusters in few sets (unless you’re a top athlete, if you’re able to go unbroken the dumbbells are too light).

Newer athletes can reduce the distance to 200m and the number of thrusters to 15, performed with a lighter set of dumbbells.

Shaky Legs
