400M Run

Workout notes

Today’s workout is a time priority couplet with a total of a mile of running and a large volume of kettlebell snatches.  The kettlebell snatch is taken from the hang so you’ll need to be able to complete a large amount of reps in sets to be able to get through each round of twenty. Break up each round of forty however you see fit but do distribute the work evenly across both arms.  If you are familiar with the dumbbell snatch but have some difficulty with performing kettlebell snatches, consider using a lighter weight than you would with a dumbbell.  Unlike the dumbbell snatch, the kettlebell will require you to rotate the object around your wrist and finish with a light punch upward. If you can correctly pull this off you won’t smack the kettlebell on your arm so pay attention to your technique and focus on the movement!
