The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started. CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them. We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies. If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.
My “tactic” was to put my best effort into the second round, and I managed to improve my (March) PR by 12 seconds.
For the last two rounds, I tried to concentrate on the posture (lean forward a bit, but keep the core upright and tight).
Did Griff-run 800m, run 400m backward, run 800m, run 400m backward.
For medical reasons I have to do my running on the eliptical-same workout, alot less pain.
Time-12:51
run times comparable to the last time I performed this WOD outside. ~3:35 rest between sets.
3:54, 3:45, 3:43, 3:42
I think it is easier to endure the pain when you have no Idea about speeds or time and only set your sights on the finish. treadmills stink. Oh yeah, machines are the enemy.
Puppies:
