This is a week where I abandon the CrossFit Endurance approach and just focus on volume of training and not necessarily quality as prescribed by CFE. I started with a 50 mile bike/ 4 mile run brick on Sunday. The weather was great and it was nice to be outside! However that workout left me drained for days. My long swim workout a few days later didn’t go very well as I was still fatigued. I also spent 2 hours on the trainer and scheduled for a 10+ mile run on Saturday. I can tell my CFE WOD’s are working for endurance training. I felt very strong on the bike, and I expect to see the same on the run.
By the way I watched the movie Kick-Ass while on the trainer. It was surprisingly a very good movie. Here is a clip from one of my favorite scenes.
Howdy, I wonder what is your take on this question: On time trial days, CFE often prescribes like a 60 or 90 minute run OR a 20 minute swim. I don't see how these efforts are equivalent. What is your take on this?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I agree with you. I often swim longer than prescribed on the web site. On the flip side the swim is a stronger event for me as compared. Also swimming is more form over endurance.
