10’ EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute): 3-7* Shoulder Touch Pushups + 5-10* squats

Mobility Exercise:

Reverse Triangle

NOTES: Pushups teach us runners a lot about how strong we are! About your posture, stability, range of motion, and ability to control that range of motion. Shoulder touch pushups are just outright MEAN but they teach us even more about our ability to stabilize when we support ourselves on one arm or one leg. Enjoy!
