In the same way people run 400m and 800m intervals for speedwork for a 5k, Ive been doing the 50 burpee challenge to take back my 100 burpee title.
I find this harder on the muscles rather than the cardiovascular system, as your going at more of a sprint, with no rest. Ive broken 2 minutes now on this, which could equate simular to a 800m sprint, I know I used to be exhausted after a 800m P.R, this has been great to get som burpee SPECIFIC speed in my legs. Im great at squatting and sprinting, but having the legs close together in the mountain jumper portion of the movement is new stimuli for my body, so this has helped.
Give it a try fellas, it could help your 100 time, great for those who are a little intimidated by the 100 burpee challenge, and as mickey says, get sum speed in dem legz.
