Crossfit: The sport of sport. Functional Fitness. A kick in the backside of traditional training (and the participants). This is a record of our exploits. . .
4 days in to Zone, and I gained a pound (246#). Probably had to take a crap.
Day 2 of POSE experiment. On treadmill, focused on form. 10 1min repeats (1min on, 1min off) 1-6.7mph (~9min mile) 2-7.1 (~8:30) 3-7.5 (8:00) 4-8 (7:30) 5-8.6 (~7:00) 6-8.7 (~6:53) 7-8.8 (~6:50) 8-8.9 (~6:45) 9-9.0 (~6:40) 10-9.3 (~6:30)
Observations: 1) Hit 90 steps per minute at round 5, and was still at 92 at round 10. It's amazing how fast you run at a 90 step cadence 2) Breathing wasn't that hard. Normally, I'm doubled over after a hard push. This time (even at 6:30) I moved right into a stroll. 3) A little tightness around hamstrings and calves, but not bad. Much better than after a normal run.
Not much data so far, but working on the POSE-type form seems to be helping.
In 2 days, I'm going to start working some 400m intervals into the mix. Looking at
60sec: 6.7 60sec 7.1 60sec 7.5 60sec 8.0 60sec 8.6 400m 8.6 400m 8.6 or faster 400m 8.6 or faster
