How do you mark of 25 meters? 400 meters is one lap on a highschool track. How many feet to step off (I wear size 12 works well when measuring)? Also what is a broad jump? Is it the jump where you use two legs together and jump out (away) as far as possible?
If you’re on a high school track, is there a marked off field in the middle of the track? I’d just use the end zone and figure roughly 25 meters. Otherwise I’d guesstimate.
And yeah, broad jump: two feet together swing arms, jump hard.
Wow! First time w/ the broad jumps and those things kicked my butt. Feel good about not scaling on this one, even though I was slow. Still kept the intensity up.
First day back after 5 off and was feeling a little sluggish and didn’t like the idea of doing broad jumps on the icey road. So, I did the Fran WOD I missed.

“Fran”
21-15-9
65# Thrusters - probably could have gone up 10-15 lbs.
Black band assisted Pull ups
25m walking lunges
25m broad jump- subbed 25 box jumps because it was icy out. after lunges i didn’t have the power in my legs to jump.
200m run. i realized this when i knocked over the 18” box on my first attempt so i ended up with 25 tuck jumps.
time- 13.15
i think i’d rather be waterboarded than do this one again.
Last time I did Fran, it was done as RX’ed just to see how I would do as a benchmark for myself. I’d always scaled the weight down to 65# before that. As RX’ed, I got a 9:08. Not horrible, but definitely not in the time domain that Fran is supposed to be (3-5 min). This time, I seriously thought about scaling it to get it in that time domain for sure, but gave in to my macho man voice in my head and said that I could to it RX’ed, no problem…. Well, I broke my previous mark by 2:30 min. 3 months and 2:30 min increase in Fran time, I guess I’m doing something right. And, I guess I’ll keep my Fran as RX’ed from now on and push myself a bit harder to get under 5:00.
WOD:
Three Rounds for time,
Walking Lunges 50m
Standing Broad Jump 100m
Run 200m
Time: 21:45
I didn’t have a great way to measure this off. I knew one lap around my building was 200m. For the lunges I just figured 1 of my lunges = 1 meter. I measured the distance after the first round of lunges and doubled it for the broad jumps. If anyone can tell me a better way to measure next time, I’d love to hear it!
My first 145 was a failure of form. It freaked me out a bit, and I paced around the gym for a few minutes wondering whether or not to drop back to 135. Decided to attack it again, and once I got it, I couldn’t stop grinning the whole drive home.
