Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-9/7/16

With the addition of CrossFit into my training regimen, it means waking up earlier and being more purposeful with my running. My first month of CrossFit really impacted my training run speeds. Though more exhausted, I forced myself to run any way I could; that meant sloppy running. 

By sloppy running, I mean declining form and slower miles. I was ok with sloppy running as it forced me to focus on technique. Lately I've become more acclimated to the new demands of both CrossFit and running and things seem to be settling as I can do both with a little more confidence. I go to the gym two to three days a week. During gym days, I do the CrossFit workout and follow up with a five mile run. I always "cash out" or do extra exercises to gain endurance and hopefully perform better at OCR events. On non-gym days I try to run six miles or more.

Today is a non-gym day for me.

Run 8 miles

My intent is to increase performance and hopefully crush it in my age group for the OCR World Championships.
