Catch Me If You Can

planner estimates how long you’ll survive in the Catch Me If You Can (CMIYC) workout @ OTF, based on a set of predefined strategies.

Unlike the pace chart, this planner gives you the flexibility to have a mix of push, base & all-out during the run!

When is the next

Catch Me If You Can

?

It has not been announced yet.

The last one was on 2/6/2024, and it is expected to come again at around 7/6/2024, based on an average of 151 days between each Catch Me If You Can 👮‍♀️. (You can find all the data in

Calendar 🗓

.)

A tread-block signature workout. During the workout, the coach will periodically announce a minimum distance that you must reach on the treadmill. If you're not at that distance or higher, you are done on the treads and get to do activities on (or around) the rower. For a more detailed breakdown, check out

You may want to go with Set And Forget strategy, and start with your base pace. Bump it up only if you feel comfortable.

💡 By default, the planner includes a 1% penalty to the distance to account for tread’s ramp-up time, etc. See How To Use? above to turn off/adjust the penalty as desire.
