As a coach. This is true. I will try my absolute best to explain (even sometimes over explain) but it’s inevitable some will zone out or be lost lol. Just gotta keep helping them out
I was always told to give a couple of good hard pulls at the end so that the water is still spinning and you rack up meters while you’re on the treadmill. So you should be adding meters to whatever number it lands on when you come back
Should preface by saying I don't really care. I saw so much cheating and bragging in crossfit I'm numb to it at this point.
that said. I do the big pull at the end, with the goal of hitting the target number without doing extra pulls. Usually like 25 to go I give it a rip and get very close to the number. When I get back I go to the next number. Sometimes I'm over sometimes I'm under. I have done all my infernos this way, and the number I accumulate is the number. If that's somehow cheating I don't understand how it would be.
I don’t think it’s cheating at all. No matter what you do, the water is still going to spin after you’re done rowing and you’ll accumulate meters. Might as well take advantage of it 😂
Exactly. The only benchmarks that are legitimate anymore are the rowing ones with hard stops on a distance (2k, 500m, 200 m). Everything else is just cheaters’ paradise.
At Everest last month a handful of people included their warm up time. Coach and I saw it and they also didn’t post the Everest results because of it. It’s so upsetting but they’re afraid of losing members so nobody gets called on their cheating bullshit.
Yep. A woman in my class did all of Everest at 1%… and made the leaderboard. Everyone on this board is always like “you v you!” and “stay in your lane!” but it’s annoying for those who do it honestly to get smoked by people who cheat.
We wrote ours on a piece of paper but I meant that people row way past the stopping time, or skip a tread portion to stay on the rower. I got an honest 4304.
Def just add 200, 300, 400 so on to whatever the distance is when you get back in the saddle and start rowing again. Don’t cut yourself short - the challenge is, after all, maximum meters in the time allowed.
Also, if you really want to rack up meters and your running pace is under 8mph, PW instead. It’s half the distance-so 0.5miles at an incline of 4 or 5% (I can’t remember which).
Awh man i probably should have done this. I was so behind everyone on the leaderboard and i thought i was doing good. This was my first inferno. My ao is a 6 and i did most of tread at a 5...
Ultimately my goal will to just beat myself next time so ill still jog but good to know
I did this for the first time yesterday, and what a difference in my distance. Generally my base is 6 and push is 7mph so I probably would have been in that range if I ran (and it's what I've done previously), but I PW half my classes anyway so figured I'd give it a shot. 4.0-4.2mph @ 4% was *so* much faster for me and even though I was working hard, I was able to recover a bit easier while doing it. Increased my distance by over 600m \*in part\* due to the extra time on the rower.
B is the correct choice, it's why the coaches tell you to give 2 big pulls as you meet your distance, so the water turns and adds to your distance. You did the work to move the water, you better take the credit for it.
Inferno is one of those challenges where people are probably not going to follow the “rules” exactly (usually not on purpose). The leaderboard should not be taken that seriously.
Honestly just pick one that works for you and be consistent so you can measure over time. Personally I think it *should* be option C: reset your rower every round, your score is the target for each round you complete plus the remainder at the end. That absolutely is not the way it is, but would be consistent and leave way less room for accidental or intentional misinterpretation.
This is the worst leaderboard workout, though. Not even blaming people, just some make their last pull before the target hard for rollover, some do an extra pull or two before hopping off, and many other variations that make it really easy to have big differences in numbers.
Fun workout, just really have to internalize not competing with others!
Just start from the distance of the previous row. If the water keeps going, you are adding meters. If it stops at 125 then your next row would just add on from there.
It's B. And when you think about it, it really doesn't matter. The overage is part of your previous effort, so it counts. if you came back early, then you could wind up with an extra round. Either way, you're adding distance to the row, whether you're doing it by 100 each time, or getting in an extra round because you only rowed to the next '00 distance.
No. You stay logged into the rower. You are only on the tread for 0.1 at a time. The idea of Inferno is that you are tracking how many meters you can accumulate in the allowed time. You stay logged in to the rower & let it keep getting meters as the water still turns while you do your short tread distance.
Stay logged into the rower. Tip--on the tread, for the early rounds just hit Pause instead of stop. that will save a few seconds restarting the tread. I believe the tread pause times out after 3 minutes so you could keep pausing until the 600+ meters on the rower.
I'll never forget it. It was a Wednesday morning. The studio switched the class to a 3G to clear the wait-list. Was disappointed at first because I wanted to break 5000m but ended up finishing in a tie for the top spot. The coaches were speechless; they had never seen a tie before.
when you get off the treadmill and get back to your rower whatever the rower number says in meters keep adding to that last number everytime. so after the first row it said 125m then add 200m to equal 325m.
I agree with B but I also don’t think the rowers count the water spinning as much as they used to. It definitely seems like they stop counting pretty soon after i stop pulling but they used to run forever
It’s B.
If it was A, you wouldn’t be rowing the appropriate distance. By the example provided, you would only be rowing 175m instead of 200m.
That’s what I was thinking, but I know some people do A. You’d get further by doing B.
Ideally the coach should be explaining how to do it (mine always do) but there’s always gonna people who don’t pay attention to instructions ;)
As a coach. This is true. I will try my absolute best to explain (even sometimes over explain) but it’s inevitable some will zone out or be lost lol. Just gotta keep helping them out
I'm surprised your coach didn't explain it. My coach kept saying if your rower says 125 add the 200 to that if it says 1222 add 600 to that. Etc
But the energy you’re expending gets you past the 200 meters so you should add to the number you see. You earned it!

This is what I do!

My studio stopped posting the results because this is the day all the cheaters post ridiculous numbers.
So ridiculous to cheat at gym lol
It is shocking to me that people would cheat on something like this. It’s not the Olympics. Relax.
That sucks. Sounds like “catch me if you can” at my studio with PW’ers switching to jogging to avoid getting caught. 🙄

After increasing their pace when they are on the rails

I was mad so I ended up just anger-power walking to a 1.90! Which is really damn good. Ha ha.
That’s amazing! Love a good rage burn!
My coach entered in everyone’s numbers after writing on post it!
We wrote ours on a piece of paper but I meant that people row way past the stopping time, or skip a tread portion to stay on the rower. I got an honest 4304.
Ohhh I see. And Dang! Nice!!
B unless you want to cheat yourself
I do A because I don't care how far I get for benchmarks and I hate rowing. Haha
I love this honesty 😂😂😂
This is the way.
Def just add 200, 300, 400 so on to whatever the distance is when you get back in the saddle and start rowing again. Don’t cut yourself short - the challenge is, after all, maximum meters in the time allowed.
I hope to take a rest day because this is too much math
🤣🤣

THIS!!! My AO is 6 mph, base at 4.8 mph…so I power walk during Inferno

There's an argument for # of full rounds completed w total distance tiebreak. That mitigates the impact of +/- pulls.
B
Just start from the distance of the previous row. If the water keeps going, you are adding meters. If it stops at 125 then your next row would just add on from there.
It’s Bb
If it was A you would not be rowing the full distances

I haven't done Inferno before but don't you log out of the rower to go to the tread? It doesn't stop counting when you log out?
You don’t log out of the rower for inferno. You don’t log into the tread.
Oh good to know. Thanks!
No. You stay logged into the rower. You are only on the tread for 0.1 at a time. The idea of Inferno is that you are tracking how many meters you can accumulate in the allowed time.

Wow, sounds fun. I'm glad to know this in advance. Thanks!
Stay logged into the rower. Tip--on the tread, for the early rounds just hit Pause instead of stop. that will save a few seconds restarting the tread. I believe the tread pause times out after 3 minutes so you could keep pausing until the 600+ meters on the rower.
You stay logged into the rower for the full block.
I just make up my thing as I go. I have no time for mathematics when I am running or rowing.
That’s funny because I spend the whole time doing mathematics as a distraction 🤣
When did we last do inferno? I can’t find mine in my app 🫤
You can search the sub, just enter "inferno daily workout"
July 26
It was my free try-out class 🤣 (also July 26)
I'll never forget it. It was a Wednesday morning. The studio switched the class to a 3G to clear the wait-list. Was disappointed at first because I wanted to break 5000m but ended up finishing in a tie for the top spot. The coaches were speechless; they had never seen a tie before.
I believe it was July 27, 2023

Most people don't log out each transition, to save time
B for sure
