Workout of the Day

Rest Day

Featured Article:
Variance is Good

Constantly varied workouts are a core principle of CrossFit, designed to prepare individuals for any physical challenge by building broad, general fitness. Critics argue that frequent variation prevents athletes from improving, but millions of CrossFit athletes have proven otherwise, achieving remarkable levels of fitness through diverse training. CrossFit's methodology focuses on developing strength, endurance, and functional movement patterns through a wide range of activities, which complement and enhance one another. Even specialized athletes, like weightlifters and powerlifters, benefit from incorporating variety into their training. CrossFit prioritizes comprehensive fitness over specialization, equipping individuals to excel across a broad spectrum of physical challenges.

As rx'd, 35:22. 


Not sure I know how to go 70-75% anymore 😉 – this was probably closer to 80-85%.  Rowed 2:03/2:04 pace.  Broke farmer carries at the 50m turn-around, and took my time picking them up again.  Runs were noticeably slower than my usual.  I think with a 100% effort I could get this done somewhere around 28-30 minutes.
