Crossfit and Running

maryjane1216 · Post by **maryjane1216** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:37 pm

I've been doing crossfit for a while and I have own crossfit journal. I don't really follow the workouts that are on the main page since it's not feasible for me i.e limited access to some of the equipments or gym is too crowded. I also try to modify some workouts. So I decided to try this online. I guess we'll see how long this will last.

Today's workout was 5x for time of 7 each: pull-ups, thrusters, burpees

I did assisted pull-ups with 65 pounds, thrusters with 15 pounds dumbbells and I did the regular burpees.

I decided not to run today since I did long run yesterday (6.5 miles). However, I did feel really good. The workout didn't seem that bad. Plus I just started the Zone diet. It probably has something to do with it.

- the point of crossfit is that there isn't a routine which is what i don't really like about it
- instead of doing what a workout syas (say 7 pull ups) on the assisted machine, why not do an actual routine and work up to doing unassisted pull ups...you don't make any real progress and you can't see any real progress as you're doing different things everytime
- there is no emphasise on technique as most of the sets are performed under fatigue risking injury
- watch out on the zone diet, no carbs will be your downfall long term when you introduce them back in

Actually 2/3 of the Zone diet is composed of carbs. I feel like I have been eating more carbs than before. As far as crossfit, I like the idea of having muscles guess on what workout I'll be doing next. I have attended the fundamental class so I can do the exercise properly and perhaps prevent injury. Once in a while I would do the same workouts I did in the past to check any improvements. I have noticed progression as I see it with improved time or the ability to lift heavier weights as compared to when I did the same workout before. Once I see that time has been the same I would then add more weights which prevents me with experiencing training plateau which I have done in the past when I did a routine strength training. In a way it's the same concept as P90X. From time to time, I still do strength training depends on what I feel. I listen to body.
Nonetheless, I appreciate your input. So what type of workout do you do?

Update: Today's workout was: For time 5x: 400m run, 10 pushups, 20 pullups, 30 squats

* Did Jumping pullups, felt ok by the fourth round I was dying. Oh there goes cardio for the day. 1.25 miles

how did you work this out?

maryjane1216 · Post by **maryjane1216** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 4:44 am

Do you mean how I figured those numbers out? If so, I used the diet tracker on the shapefit website. Or do you meant how I was only able to take in 1144? Then if that is what you were asking, I work in a very demanding place which takes up a lot of time. Most of the people are unable to take lunches due to its demand. I know I am supposed to be taking about 2116 calories per day. However, yesterday was another busy day for us so I was unable to snack on anything. I did make sure that I ate a light snack prior to working out. Otherwise I would have not been able to do the planned workout.
