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.
