Very interesting workout. I'll try it and report back. I'm as slow as you can be running, but am a very proficient Deadlifter. One workout I do is 175 lbs, 10 reps at the start of every minute for ten minutes. Yes 200 reps total, probably not recommended, but I've been deadlifting a long time. I use it as very light weight, high rep for conditioning. Even with that DL ability I expect the deads in this workout to be brutal because I'll be so gassed from the run. Hope to do it by Friday.
Did the workout and timed it this morning. Not done on a track, but on a flat street in front of my house so I didn't have to lug the weights to the track. Measured 220y with a 300' tape and did down and backs.
Expected to be able to do the runs in 90s because I'm slow as h*ll. Couldn't even do that. The second you're done running you're on the barbell and the deads, while normally very easy for me, are not easy when gassed from the run. It got progressively harder and my run times were very slow as a result. I finished it in 28 minutes. Would love to see how well a good runner who can also deadlift would do, but I'm convinced NOBODY could do it in that 18 minute range.
