SANDMAN
Interval conditioning piece with row, bike, and run every 5:00 for 6 sets. Score is sum total time across all sets. Tests aerobic threshold and pacing consistency.

- Purpose: Unilateral hip strength, calf resilience, and lateral core stability — directly supports running mechanics and machine output.
Primary: Maintain consistent splits across all six sets. The last set should look like the first set — that is the only standard that matters today.
Secondary: Learn your machines. This workout is as much about pacing intelligence as fitness. Athletes should leave knowing their threshold Cal/Hr on the Row, RPM range on the Echo Bike, and 400m split at threshold effort.
Strategy
Row: Get up to pace in 2-3 strokes and lock it in. Do not sprint off the start. The row sets the ceiling for the entire set. Echo Bike: Controlled, consistent RPM (60-70 RPM at sustainable output). The legs are loaded from the row — mashing through the calories will cost on the run. 400m Run: Hard but controlled, roughly 85-90% of all-out effort. If any portion becomes a walk, something earlier was too fast. Rest Window: Athletes should see 60-90 seconds rest at Rx pace. Under :30 = machines were too fast. Over 2:00 = push the pace.
