Was planning on a San Diego trip in January for Exercise Physiology - Assessment, but found out today that I have a torn ACL in my left knee, going in for surgery 1/4/11. Still trying to get in as much as possible (been lifting with that for the last 6 months apparently), hope to get back to 100% soon.

Stupid question #1:
If an exercise (e.g. 400m run) is Rx'd at 75%, how is it assessed throughout the exercise? I am a floppy and sloppy fat man and "I currently struggle with" any running exercise. So, for me, a 400m run Rx'd at 75% might start at about 75% but by the end it turns into a hitting-the-wall 100%. Is this assessed as a 75% or 100% RPE? In other words, is RPE set for the beginning, middle or end of the run (or a combination thereof)? Or is it expected to fluctuate, so as to maintain 75% RPE during the entire run, thus causing my speed to change?
(I really hope this makes sense since I've been trying to figure this out for a while)
@ Delware,
75% is perceived exertion of your energy for that day. Some days it may feel easier or harder than others. Like OPT wrote in the FAQ section, don't use math; it's based on how you feel that day (or at least for me). Take the 400 repeats from Sundays WOD - I usually run around 1 min for 400, so i did 75% at about 1:30. then 90% around 1:18. That day felt a little slower but felt like I was pushing 90% of my energy. Any big dawgs out there with other input in case I'm off?
Part 2 first
Time: 13.26
35 towel pull ups as described in post
subbed Sqt Cln for 245# DL (can't rack)
200 DU - felt great. Did long sets of 40-50 each
DL again
35 towel pull ups - Broken as all hell. took roughly 5 minutes just to do these.
Rowing done as required. Each row around 2200 m
147
142

High bar back squat worked to 1rm - 410 pr by 5lbs
258 avg.
392 for 20s avg/ 99avg easy = 245 avg
405 for 25s avg/ 88avg easy = 246 avg
rowing is my nemesis, thanks OPT for exposing my weakness on day 1.
me and rory are going to hit workout 2 at 5pm. I only have a 15ft rope so we will do 7 ascents instead of 5.
Avg. watts:
15: 480
20: 456
25: 446
Good workout for me. Need to learn how to bring the intensity time and time again.
GCF, sweet setup, looks a little different than "the deer hunter" back last year! (http://optimumperformancetraining.blogspot.com/2009/09/wg-phase-3.html)
i'm gonna be a few days behind to plan wods around some other stuff i've got goin on... will post when i can

5 min rest
Part 2:
17:03
5 min rest between wods killed me. Unbroken hang squat cleans wasn't happening today. I'm getting better at DU but still hit about 40 and start to trip up.
Heavy Front Squats first
345x3, 360x1 (fail x3)
Rows: average 1:19-1:21 pace
ran out of time after the first set of rows
will hit the metcon later with AJ...
15s: went just over 2500m, b/t 450 and 600watts
20s: 450 average
25s: 450 average
Found myself not pushing as hard as I could for all rows. My lower back was bothering me a bit and my left hand felt like it was blistering for some reason.
Ass and hamstrings ached. Glad it's over.
dawgs-
thanks for the best wishes. we are definatley looking forward to building an amazing community out in central ny.
mccabe- yea a touch bigger and better, haha, no rifles hanging off the wall.
@ NW:
Sounds like the perceived effort is based on how one feels throughout a given exercise, a 400m run at 75%, for example. So, if I understand correctly, the speed may change throughout the 400m run while trying to maintain the perceived effort of 75% from start to finish.
Thanks for your thoughts and directing me to to the FAQs.
Part 2 - 12:07, not as rx'd
both sets of cleans were broken, 8/2 and then 2/2/2/2/2. grip mostly on the first set, fatigue on the second. also missed a lot of double unders, frustrating.
thanks to wifey for letting me go to the affiliate she works at and use their rope set up, our garage ceiling isnt high enough for good rope climbs
@Delaware
Good question, I wonder the same thing on these runs, but I think I'm making some mental progress. (Also, I'm a hapless runner, so I know your plight!)
I've been doing these tempoed intervals on a tread mill which forces me to base my RPE on a constant speed. The first 100 meters always feels 50% and the last 100m always feels 95-100%...or so I thought...
This last one with the 6 intervals at the pre-established 90% speed REALLY showed me what 100% felt like. Because of the treadmill, I set each one at the same exact speed (10 mph), but the change in relative effort was RIDICULOUS for rounds 2-5; I thought I was gonna go flying off the back of the machine on the last 50 meters of each run. This workout showed me my TRUE 100%.
Sometimes I think I'm hitting a wall but its really just the initial sensation of "wanting to stop," versus the very different sensation of "can't go on."
I'm now gonna base these tempos on how I feel toward the end of the run, knowing full well that no matter how slow I go, I'm always gonna perceive SOME amount of discomfort, its just about building the tolerance to the initial "fear" of the approaching wall.
Granted this is all on a fixed speed, so it doesn't actually answer your question...just relaying the experiences of a fellow anti-runner.
Did Part 2 first... part 1 later tonight
35 rope pull ups high knees
10 Broken HSC (115# 5-3-2)
200 D/U
10 Broken HSC (105# 9-1)
35 rope pull ups high knees
23:26
For the first HSC, scaled the wight to 115# to give a shot at it unbroken, but it was way the heavy to do it unbroken. For the second sequence, scaled the weight down to 105# to do it unbroken, failed on last rep, the bar rolled down off my fingers on the last rep. Forearms were dead, had no grip at the end.
It was a very good challege to work to do it unbroken.
part II
19:02
rope is only 11.5 ft. I started each climb on my knees and touched my head to 12 foot ceiling and did 7 climbs instead of 5.
subbed 155lb HSC, very tough!
@ Delware,
OPT in a past workout said the goal is to maintain that same 90% time. So if you run it in 1.15, the goal is to maintain that 90% time. As you will notice, it increasingly gets harder as the sets go on. So the initial run would be 90% effort for that day and the goal is to keep that same time throughout the workout. Make sense or am I just messing it up more?

P1: 154W / 2291m
141W / 2275m
125W / 2055m

17:30
That freakin wrecked me
Row Sprints:
15 sec @ maximal effort – high s/m

a.
couldn't keep track of the watts every time so i tracked total meters: 2652, 2750, 2192
b.
subbed rope climbs with 30 burpees,16:34. i couldn't do the hang squat cleans unbroken which kind of surprised me. they felt very heavy. i averaged b/w 2-4 reps unbroken.
F/31/130
Part 2
35 rope pulls & 75#
26:25
PART 1:
Screen was broken on the only C2 @ globo.
But, I went hard as possible on Row sprint and felt great, fatigue never set in, 1mo ago I would have been crushed.
Part 2:
Rope @ my box is trashed so I subbed for rope chin-knee up...had to stop briefly for 530 class to do warm up on bar so total time was 19:36
Rowing Sprints done... could only record the average watts including the 50%s:
175
190
176
Part II:
13:55
Subbed 135 for 185 and still didn't go unbroken. Double Unders are officially in my kitchen when in a metcon. I am decent at them with warmups and when fresh, but in metcons I go about 20 at a time... Definitely something to work on... put it on my list.
Rowing: 1st set 1:28/9 500m/ave
2nd set 1:30 500m/ave
3rd set 1:30/1 500m/ave
Average pace, most sets were within 2 secs or so of those splits.
