In "Front Runner", we have a 5 round workout where we'll start with a 200 meter run in each. From there, the barbell reps climb, 2-4-6-8-10. Stimulus wise, we are looking for a clean and jerk load that we are very confident we could complete for 12+ repetitions unbroken, when completely fresh. Inside the workout, we may move to sets early on due to a specific strategy, but it's a load we are comfortable cycling for touch and go repetitions in this workout.

If we are not running today, let's row for 250/200 meters per round.

In the front half of the workout, it's heavy on the running. On the back half, it flips... and it's heavy on the barbell.

With that in mind, strategy wise, we want to plan for those final two sets of clean and jerks. Cycling here is highly important to find our best time in this workout. The temptation is to push early, and to hang on for as long as we can with unbroken sets. But if that results in grinding out singles in the 8's and 10's, after going unbroken through 6, it's likely that we'll lose more time than we gained.

Another way to think about it is this: if we had to do the last set in two sets (or less), how would we approach the reps and running beforehand?
