Information

30 minutes of non-stop snatch work is a long time, but because this challenge is performed as alternating and with the half snatch variation, anyone can do it if they get their pacing and racking right.

  1. Start the 30-minute timer
  2. Swing switch
  3. Snatch overhead
  4. Drop into racking
  5. Backswing
  6. One rep performed
  7. Swing switch
  8. Half snatch
  9. Two reps
  10. And so on

The reps are counted till you put the kettlebell down or the timer goes.

Because the switch (alternating) and half snatch are one rep, starting with the swing switch gives you the confidence that after the half snatch you have performed one repetition.

The half snatch is a snatch variation where you snatch the weight overhead and then drop the kettlebell in the racking position, and from the rack into the backswing, and repeat. The switch is performed with a hip hinge and needs to happen at the top of the upswing.

Resting

Athletes are only allowed to rest in the overhead or racking position. Any other position means an end to the half marathon.
