Tuesday

241210

Workout of the Day

66

For time:
Run 5,000 meters

Compare to 240423.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
If executed properly, this workout challenges the boundaries of human performance and requires no equipment. It's a fantastic test of stamina, endurance, and mental fortitude. Experienced athletes should try for a PR on this benchmark effort. Look back at your previous time to help determine an appropriate pace. Newer athletes should reduce the distance to complete the run in no more than 20 minutes.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
On a 20-minute clock:
Run for distance

Coaching cues:
To avoid inefficient movement patterns while you run, imagine you’re running on the crossties of a railroad track, keeping your feet right under your body and landing on the balls of your feet.

Rx 27:43


Compare to 240423: 25:00. Just wanted to get it done today but clearly de-conditioned for this after a long time trying to balance healing with still training. Didn’t help that parts of my body other than lungs and knees started to protest less than halfway through forcing me to slow a little. Hopefully the knees don’t hate me too much.

Rx, on the trueform:

27:09 (~5.4 min/km)

Tried to keep it around 5.5 min/km.


Pretty sure this is my first 5k on a runner. Definitely makes a difference from regular outdoor running. Last time I went this far I ran on the streets , accidentally ran an extra 300m and was only 40 seconds slower than today’s effort. Also, probably my longest run in the vivo barefoot shoes, felt great.


240423

Accidentally went 5,320m. Outside, many hills.

It felt fast. Does that count?

Looking back, I didn't find times on Rx days. I run 5k occasionally on rest days but apparently not when programmed.

32:38 in 20# plate carrier


At least 240424 me had the foresight to do this:

Favo K-April 24th, 2024 at 8:30 am

Re-did the 5k this morning(4.24.24) without the plate carrier, so l'll have a current log both ways: 23:06.


Lol. I was so energetic! Today: In the weirdly muggy, cold rain, sans plates- 22:19

Yes, simple, accessible, scalable, repeatable (obviously), measurable, and it’s in that sweet spot of 1-3 movements around 2-20 minutes that CrossFit loves. 3 times a year this workout lol. My juco basketball coach made us get this under 23 minutes for a turkey trot ✔️

Globo wod: As rxed. If you are using a conventional treadmill use a slight incline. Sub 6k row or 330 calories assault or echo bike if running isn't an option due to weather or other factors.
