Usually I get a feeling of elation having finished a tough session like The Chores, Revolver, even the Nine Hammers I did recently, which whilst it resulted in much swearing and the first time I’d completed it in 5 tries, but the Omnium was much worse. I was in shock at the end of it, like what the f&#% just happened!! Almost the same feeling after the 4DP.

I have done the Omnium four times, and it is one of my favorite workouts.
The last 20 seconds before the cool down is quite the experience.
If it is any consolation, the original version was worse.

I did it in Feb '21, was that the old version? If so it must have been so painful, my memory has buried it. I don’t remember how much I suffered then. I remember back then stuff like Violator and Nine Hammers living up to their names (didn’t complete both of those then!) but don’t remember Omnium.

This post from Neal Henderson was from September 2021, so I would guess you did the older version. The changes were not major.

> Hi @sir_james.p and all, As you have noticed, there have been some adjustments made to many of the Sufferfest sessions in SYSTM. There are 24 SUF workouts that were not changed in any way, but 23 have been adjusted (not including any mashups in either of those counts). The primary reason that I personally made the adjustments to the 23 workouts was that our sports science team reviewed all of our workouts from various physiological models (with heavy computational lifting from @Coach.Mac.C inc…

Do you have an existing medical reason why? As long as your HR recovers in a reasonable time, it should be fine.

Mines the opposite… @ 70 my max is 149. Even back when I was around 45 I did mountain biking for a few years before I stopped cycling altogether until 4 years ago and 163 was, at that time, my max
