Why we programme this

A stronger athlete's race pace is a smaller fraction of their maximum, so every sled, carry and wall ball costs them less. Building strength is half the job; the other half is expressing it when you're already tired, which is the only kind that matters on a course. That's why the day is two gears — a crisp, heavy strength block, then a conditioning piece that makes you produce force with fatigue in the tank.
