What it asks of you
Mixed-modal work rewards a broad base and punishes gaps. The useful additions are usually unglamorous: overhead range, midline strength, and enough aerobic capacity that the metabolic pieces stop being sprints.
Where to build durability
Shoulders, lower back and hands. Range and position hold up better than intensity alone.
Training guidance, not medical advice. Pain that persists is a question for a clinician, not a programme.
