Pushing Through

Well I have been back to the CFE methodology for a few weeks.  I consistently perform 4 CF WOD’s and alternate 4 CFE Interval WOD + 2 Tempo/ Time Trial and 5 CFE Interval WOD’s + 1 Tempo/ Time Trial per week.  The 2-a-day (1 CF & 1 CFE) workouts are tough from scheduling and physically dealing with 2 high intensity workouts in one day.  This approach has me finished training for the week by late Saturday morning.  Sunday is my day off.  Sometimes I feel a bit conflicted seeing all the other LSD weekend warrior endurance athletes pushing through long workout on both Saturday and Sunday, but I remain committed to this training protocol.  I had my first run in higher heat and humidity than I have been used to.  It was very tough, and pace was downright disappointing.  However, it is still early in the year, and I still have time to train and acclimate to the heat (whenever it comes back). 

I am also completing in the Crossfit open sectional WOD’s.  My current rank is so bad it is a joke.  Hopefully I can use this year as a benchmark for years to come.  The ½ Country Music Marathon is only a few weeks away.  If the weather cooperates I hope to PR my half marathon time, but the course will not make this easy.
