Station-by-station how-tos from coaches who've done the work. Drills, scaling, and cues.
Technique
The farmers carry is the deceptive station. Strong athletes drop the kettlebells; smart athletes finish in 90 seconds. The technique, breathing, and pacing that turn the carry into a recovery station instead of a redline.
Technique
The burpee broad jump is where pacing goes to die. Twenty metres of compounding fatigue. The technique fixes, breathing pattern, and scaling options that protect the second half of your race.
Technique
The rower sits at station 5. Get the splits, the posture, and the exit right and you save 30-90 seconds against the field.
Technique
The ski erg is station one. Get it wrong and you've taxed your shoulders for the next 80 minutes. The technique and pacing that protect the race.
Technique
The sandbag lunges look easy in training and ruin athletes on race day. The technique, the rhythm, and the recovery trick that saves your wall ball legs.
Technique
The sled pull is a station most athletes underestimate. The technique fixes that take 90 seconds off your time, in detail.
Technique
The sled push is where most first-timers lose two to four minutes. Body position, breathing, and pacing fixes that transfer to race day.
Technique
The final station. 100 reps for men, 75 for women, after 7,000 metres of running and seven stations of work. How to make wall balls survivable.
