12:00pm – CrossFit, Advanced
Today I am definitely feeling the residual effects of yesterday’s…enthusiasms! My legs and hip flexors are super tired. This workout looked fun though and I didn’t have time to sneak in a run today, so I figured the one mile in the workout would be a good little taste.
800m Run
50-40-30-20-10 Box Jumps (20”)
10-20-30-40-50 Spider-to-Crabs
800m Run
25:55
Spider to crabs were reminiscent of jiu-jitsu and wrestling drills to me, so the move itself wasn’t too bad. In the higher reps it definitely became tiring on the shoulders and somehwat on the hips, too.
My first 800m I did in exactly 4 minutes. The second one I forgot to look at the clock before I headed out, but it was easily one of the slower runs I’ve probably ever done. It was painful after all those box jumps. I felt crampy and acidy in my muscles.
I remember being much faster at box jumps in the past. I’m not sure if it’s just that I’m out of practice as I haven’t worked much on the bounding technique in a long time….or, more likely, I’m just too lazy to go very fast so I don’t bother with bounding. It’s far more likely that I’m just lazy.
