Daily Training

So... it's been a few months and I've only posted one blog so I figured at the very least I should post my daily training just to keep the blogs flowing a bit more regularly. I placed 14th in the BC CrossFit sectionals a couple of weekends ago, which means I am now training for the Canadian Regionals that will be held in Calgary at the end of May. I'm hoping to put up a blog about my Sectionals experience with pics soon.

Moving forward, I have a little over 7 weeks to prepare for regionals. I feel that the most important thing for me to work on is developing more power in workouts - the ability to do the work of the wod quicker. I feel my ability to sustain a submaximal pace is pretty good but I really need to have the ability to put the pedal to the metal in some of the shorter metcons. My strength was shown to be a bit of a weakness in the sectionals, so I'll also be focusing on a 4-week block of some pretty heavy strength work.

Training from Wed April 7:

11:30am - Rowing - 4 x 1000m, 5 min rest interval. DF - 125

#1 - 3:36 sr 28

#2 - 3:34 sr 29

#3 - 3:28.6 sr 30

#4 - 3:34 sr 30

followed by: GHD situps, 4x8 (just to get back into these)

As per usual, my stroke rate drifted up over the intervals. All intervals were done with a race start but no ramped finish.

6:30pm - CrossFit Zone WOD - "the LIZ"

3 part workout - 5x4 Deads for top weight, 4x4 hang squat snatch for top weight, 4 min max double unders

Deadlift - 315 (just didn't feel right so didn't go heavier)

HSS - 115 (grip limits pull)

DU's - 240

total score - 670. Not a bad little strength stimulus, worked on accuracy and getting under the bar in the HSS.
