Hey guys, hero workout “CLOVIS” is coming Sunday May 21st. For those that don’t know yet, It is a 10 mile run with 150 burpee pull ups. Yes, you read that right, this is going to be challenging. We’ll have scaled options, half “CLOVIS” 5 mile run and 75 burpee pull ups and a shorter “CLOVIS” with a 3 mile run and 50 burpee pull ups. You can break up the workout however you’d like. You could split it in 10 rounds of 1 mile and 15 burpee pull ups for example. This is going to be our “Pyro Challenge” of the year. CLOVIS is also one of the hero workouts to achieve the Gold Firebreather badge (This is the last workout I need to achieve it). We have 5 weeks left before the workout, here’s my recommendation to prep for it. Start building up some running volume, hit the pavement from once to 3x a week. something like a short run (1 mile which could be done before or after a workout at Pyro) a medium one (2-3 miles) and possibly a longer one 3 miles plus. That’s in relation to the workout. Don’t go run 10 miles per week (well, unless that’s your thing and there’s nothing wrong with it), it just won’t be necessary to prep for CLOVIS. This workout is for time but I think the real challenge here is just to finish it. Looks like the average time is about 2hrs. We’ll have a start at 9:10 (10min warm up) and we’ll go all the way until everybody is done. If you can’t come at 0900, come later but please don’t show up at 10 to 12 and do the whole thing Rx. Hope that helps
