Now do this, but the running distances are 100m x whatever number is next in the sequence.
Edit: Damn, I really wanna try this now.

@T3hPwnisher appreciated man. I have a very sick brain sometimes. Iāve made it inside and been politely told I look like death, so I guess I did something right?
@kdjohn I donāt know if that would be better or worse, 800m is a long plod back to recover. Either way, I donāt want to try it find out.

Iāve got a deload this weekend. Iāll do it and report back.
How would Juarez Valley work with different exercises? Would they both follow the 8-1-7-2-etc wave progression, or would it be 8 squats, then 100m run, then 7 squats, then 200m run, etc etc?

The original Juarez Valley was doing an exercise, walking the distance of your prison cell to the other side, and then doing the exercise again. It was to create a very brief rest period. Itās why I stick with a fixed amount of burpees in between: keeps the rest period semi-consistent.
Iāve run workouts that were concurrent Juarez Valley though. I did thrusters and burpees where Iād do 21 thrusters, 3 burpees, 18 thrusters, 6 burpees, etc until you end up at 3 thrusters and 21 burpees. Thatās actually similar to the āBlackJackā workout Jamie Lewis has written about: 20 chins, 1 dip, 19 chins, 2 dips, etc, combined numbers always equaling 21.

So you decided to take a workout and do burpees where the prisoners should be having āactive restā
PwnWorld. A world where burpees are considered active rest
No wonder I havenāt heard from my client in a week
You sick sick bastard

I agree with @T3hPwnisher, if you mix up the distance too much both in terms of running it and rest periods from the walk back, you lose the intent. I also think youād lose the benefit of the āLitvinovā aspect because youāre no longer going from a grind to a sprint unless you really are in absurdly good condition.
I like the idea of the blackjack style though, as a more cardio focused session, especially with a treadmill.

I just realized how insane āLitvinov Blackjackā would be. Youād end up doing a STUPID amount of running.

I take it all back, you should just go back to running slowly once every few weeks. That looks damn awful.

Yeah, youād have to play with the distances a bit, and completely forget about the idea of sprinting any of them. I mean, it basically turns into a long run broken up with a few squats. Perfecrly fine workout, totally different aims and results though
The worst part is, Iāll get these ideas in my head and then legitimately get upset with myself for having thought them up, because now I HAVE to do it.
Iām trying to come up with one thatās based around the log viper. Hard to plan the in between movement, since the viper hits about everything.
Send your client the 100 burpee challenge. Call it a feeder workout, haha.

This is 100% what goes through my head when I come up with this stuff.

Hereās the huge difference: I would 1) be doing it on a deload week, wherein such a workout would be the ONLY major session I do through the entire week, and it would be so far removed from my normal training that it wouldnāt necessarily interfere with recovery ā I would never dream of doing it mid-block for the heck of it. And 2) I, unlike you, always stop and ask myself the āwhyā when approaching something like this. I later noted the sheer volume of running this would entail, and truth be told Iām now reconsidering.
