Strategy & Tips

Kelly is a long chipper that taxes your legs heavily. The runs provide some upper body recovery, but box jumps and wall balls back-to-back will burn your quads.

  • Run at a sustainable pace - 5 rounds is a lot
  • Step down from box jumps to save your legs
  • Wall balls should be broken into manageable sets
  • Maintain consistent round times - don't blow up early
  • The last 2 rounds are where most people fall apart

Pacing

Aim for negative splits or even pacing. If round 1 is your fastest, you went out too hard. Each round should take 5-7 minutes.
