About Glen
Glen honors former U.S. Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, 42, of Winchester, Massachusetts. He was working on a State Department security detail when he was killed in the attack in Benghazi, Libya, in September 2012.
The workout is a long chipper with five distinct pieces. Strength and skill come first with the barbell and rope, the two miles test your engine, and 100 burpees at the end decide who held something back.
Tips for Glen
- Do the clean and jerks as steady singles or touch-and-go doubles. Thirty reps go quickly if you avoid long rests.
- Use your feet on the rope climbs. A good foot lock saves your arms for the second mile.
- Run the first mile easy. The burpees at the end will take everything left.
- Break the 100 burpees into blocks of 10 and keep the rests between blocks to a few breaths.
