Well I am finishing off my 7th week of training. The week included long intervals (long for CFE):
Swim 3x500
Bike 3x10 miles
Run 3x5k
This definitely took a toll on me and looking forward to Sunday, my day off. On the Crossfit front I PR’ed Fran (21, 15, 9 reps of 95lbs thrusters and pull-ups) with a 5:46 time.
I have heard and read many endurance athletes say that CFE will not work and there is no shortcut. I guess because there is less time involved, there is a perception this is a shortcut. From my experience, completing a Crossfit WOD and a CFE WOD on the same day (which CFE methodology calls for) might consume less time but it is no shortcut. Two anaerobic high intensity training sessions a day for 3 – 4 times per week is tough as hell, and I am physically wrecked by day’s end. However since the sessions are shorter, I do recovery quickly. The fast recoveries are what it is all about.
