Question for corporate, can we always get a written version of the tread/row workout.
I have been doing OT for about 4 months and I love it. But I don’t know if could do it without the early intel. I think there are 3 limitations to OT’s current stance of only releasing the workouts live during class.
It’s hard to hear and understand a workout live in a loud studio when you’re running and tired. I don’t have any disabilities but I can’t always hear everything the coach is saying or remember the instructions for the whole block. If the entire workout were written somewhere, this would not be an issue. At the moment, I’m saved by Mr. DC’s early intel because I can read and commit it to memory.
It’s hard to know how much energy to expend when you don’t know where the workout is going. Again, I can’t always catch the entire workout orally and I don’t think our coaches always give the full workout at the beginning. If we’re doing 4, 5-minute endurance blocks with walking recovery in between then I’m going to approach it differently than I would a continuous 23 mingle endurance blocks.
I know some people only do OTF and the OT programming is sufficient for them. But many of us have injuries or physical limitations and do other activities outside of OT. Knowing a week’s workout im advance would allow me to program my week. Whether I’m training for a half marathon, trying to increase my back squat or attending CrossFit classes, I can better plan my workouts for the week when I know what I will doing during my OT classes.
Why can’t we get the workouts in advance (ideally for the week) or at the very least always have them written up somewhere in class ? We shouldn’t be dependent on Mr. DC to make sure we understand each work out I’m advance.
Corporate, can you take this as feedback. What does everyone else think?
