On The Clock Feb 27, 2019

Show notes

Wednesday Burn 007 – Does a sub 2 minute Combat time predict with certainty a good performance on the fire ground? Do the fastest times on the day’s WOD transfer over to the fastest times on the fire ground?

We burn with Zac Varela (Episode 18) about not over-valuing the clock in training, and getting away from the comfort of rehearsed training. Time is important, but performance must be measured with a combination of time and the ability to respond effectively to the unknowns.
