Defintions
AMRAP – As Many Rounds as Possible. Complete as many rounds of the given workout as you can in the given amount of time.
ie. 10 min AMRAP 10 Pushups/5 Squats - Do 10 Pushups followed by 5 Squats for as many rounds as you can in 10 minutes.
EMOM – Every Minute on the Minute. Start a timer and complete the given workout on every minute.
ie. 10x5 EMOM Burpees - Complete 5 Burpees on each 1 minute interval
LI – Long Interval. Any interval that is greater than 5 minutes or half mile in length.
SI – Short Interval. Any interval that is less than 5 minutes or half mile in length.
TT – Time Trial. Complete given distance as quickly as possible.
Tabata - High Intensity Interval Training consisting of 8 Rounds of 20 seconds "on" and 10 seconds of rest.
ie. Tabata Pushusp = 8 Rounds of 20 seconds of as many pushups as you can do, followed by 10 seconds of no pushups.
Interval - An integral aspect of your training as an endurance athlete where you will have an "on" and "off" portion of your exercise. The intervals will be either time or distance based.
"On" Interval - Complete the "on" interval by performing the given task (ie. running) as quickly as you can for the prescribed time or distance. This interval is to be completed as fast as possible, with exercise technique maintained. If technique is lost, the activity needs to be performed as a lesser intensity in order to achieve proper form throughout the interval.
"Off" Interval - Complete the "off" interval by maintaining a pace that recovers the body for the next "on" interval. Although the bulk of your training progress will be achieved during the "on" interval, this is an important interval to be able to maintain proper technique while recovering. During this interval, concentrate on your technique and recovery. If you are running and proper technique cannot be maintained, walking may be necessary.
ie. 10 min AMRAP 10 Pushups/5 Squats - Do 10 Pushups followed by 5 Squats for as many rounds as you can in 10 minutes.
