JUNE 15     ON DUTY
Warm Up: 3 rounds (not timed) - 10 Sit-ups, 10 Push-ups, 10 Pull-ups, 10 Air Squats, 1 minute Plank hold, Shoulder Mobility, GOAT. (GOAT work should be 10 reps of a skill you struggle with.)

Metabolic Skill: 20 minute run at 60% of your Max Effort. 

Mobility:  Use your time from 110614 5k to establish your max average 1 mile time.  Run for 20 minutes today at 60% of that effort.   On duty days try to get two separate mobility sessions in.  Early in your shift do a light warm up (1 round of our general warm up or 5 minutes of light jogging/calisthenics) and a 10 minute mobility segment.  Post skill work perform a second 10 minute mobility session.

NOTES:
On Duty Days are not supposed to be taxing.  You have to be ready to respond mid-workout/post workout.  The focus is on developing skills, getting warm, and working on flexibility.  Front Squats can be particularly taxing on wrist and forearm flexibility.   Developing a good front squat will help in your other movements.  If you don't know your 1RM just work with an unloaded bar.


JUNE 16     OFF DUTY
Warm Up: 3 rounds (not timed) - 10 Sit-ups, 10 Push-ups, 10 Pull-ups, 10 Air Squats, 1 minute Plank hold, Shoulder Mobility, GOAT. (GOAT work should be 10 reps of a skill you struggle with.)

Strength:  Push Press 10-8-6-5-5-5

Stamina:  Push Press 20@75% of 5RM, 40 Box Jumps (24" box), 200m Drag @185#

Mobility:  10 minutes of stretching/flexibility.


NOTES:
Today's Stamina is a lot of fun.  For your drags use a dummy or a sled.  Drag from a crouched position facing forward for 100m (like you were dragging a victim down a hallway) then drag from a standing position moving backwards (like dragging a piece of LDH).

SCHEDULE OPTIONS: 

Adjust the dates as needed to match your On/Off Duty schedule.  Some options for other schedules are listed below.  If you have suggestions for other modifications please email them to us.

24 on - 72 off: On your 3rd day off duty repeat the Warm Up, Strength, and Mobility components that you need work on. 

48 on - 96 off: On your 2nd day on duty perform a light metabolic conditioning workout.  Run/Row 20 minutes at 60% of your Maximum capacity.

10 hour Day/ 14 Hour Night:  Complete the "Off Duty" workouts immediately after shift on your day tours.  Complete the "On Duty" workouts during your night tours.

Given the Metabolic Needs of Firefighters if you have a day you are on duty that does not meet our published schedule add in a 20 minute run or row at 60% of your maximum effort.  Your goal should be to have 60% of your maximum to be at least a 7 mph hour pace.  Work to this level if you aren't there yet.
