When you are setting up training sessions for your athletes you need to keep in mind that Most if not all of your women are slower than the men. Consequently no matter what the workout the women are always going to be running for a longer period of time.
For one rep of a WO this may not seem like much, but start adding up all the extra seconds a woman will run over the duration of the individual wo, then factor in the whole week of wo’s,then the month etc. and you will see that the women are running considerably longer than the men .
This takes a toll. Especiallly when we take into account the 40 sec window of running before we start experiencing the lactic acid that many coaches talk about. C Hart talks about this in some of his clinics.
