Keep adding 2 deadlifts per round and get as far as possible in 12 Min.
RX Men: 40-50# DBs
RX Women: 25-45# DBs
RX + Men/Women: Alternating Single Leg Deadlifts (Keep numbers the same PER leg each round. So first round is 2 per leg, alternating. Second round is 4 per leg, alternating and so on).
Score: Total Deadlift Reps ONLY
Goal: 42-90 Reps (that's the round of 12 - the round of 16)
**If doing RX+ you will still count each rep - those scores will just reflect that you are doing double basically each time. The goal is to get AT LEAST into the round of 12 deadlifts which should be pretty doable if the runs are taking 30-40 seconds max. Choose a load that you can go unbroken for at least the first 5 rounds if not the whole way!
If you are using a lighter pair of dumbbells relative to your deadlifting ability, consider trying RX+ and challenging your balance.
For the deadlifts the DBs will start on the ground. Feet are under the hips. Heels are down. Hips and knees are bent. Hands and grip are outside of the legs. Arms are straight. Chest is up. Belly tight. Back flat! To lift the DBs drive your heels into the ground and lift your chest. Keep arms straight, chest up and belly tight as you stand all the way up at the top.
To lower - send your butt back. Keep your chest lifted and belly tight. Keep those heels down. Once the DBs go below your knees, re-bend them and bring the DBs back to the starting position under control. Only one head of each dumbbell needs to touch at the bottom!
For the 100m run, you're working with about 30 seconds. Shorten the distance as needed to fit the time window. If unable to run due to space or weather purposes - 30 seconds of double/single unders, low step ups, Mtn Climbers or toe taps to a low target.

Go all out each time! Since you are resting while your partner works, you should be getting close to a one-to-one work-rest ratio. This will give you enough time to recover and really push when it's your turn. But, still focus on quality movement!
Choose a load that you can go unbroken for at least the first 5-6 rounds.

RUN/JOG - To avoid the added pressure to the pelvic floor that the impact from running can create, sub: Taps, Row, Bike, Farmer Carry, Sled Push/Drag, Quick Step Ups. If you're postpartum and working towards rehab-ing your core and pelvic floor you can choose from the same subs for pregnancy and/or scaling the distance that you run so that you can focus on your posture, breathing mechanics, and managing the pressure of your or and pelvic floor.
KB/DB DEADLIFT - If you’re pregnant and the shape of your belly is making reaching the floor difficult or if you're postpartum and managing core rehab through practice of proper posture, sub: Sumo Stance KB/DB Deadlift or elevate the DBs/KB so its not so low to the ground when you pick it up. If you are working on healing any pelvic floor dysfunction make sure you are able to breathe properly throughout the entire range of motion and that you are not bracing or bearing down.
