Conditioning
Haha this kinda contradicts my last post but, that will teach me for posting thoughts so fast…
I’ve discovered that I am in worse shape than I thought. Until yesterday I was doing 800 m or 400 m runs in a lot of my crossfit routines. Yesterday however In the warm up we did two rounds of 10 Kettle bell swings, 60 m sprint, 10 air squats. I tell ya it didn’t feel like a warm up… Now I can gut out a 800m run. But I have a problem with a 60 m sprint and that worries me. So in the coming weeks I am really going to work on cutting down with a lot of running and sprinting. Also I will still be doing my usual crossfit on top of this. Also I am going to work on my skipping double under’s.
It may have been the fact that I have a cold that I had such a hard time sprinting. But never the less I still need some work on my conditioning.

Push it to a new level! Once I get a lttle more of the rope jumping under my belt I will get to those double unders. You’re right, its a great workout. Keep pushing yourself.

I’ve noticed that sometimes training for one type of exercise doesn’t always translate to another type of event as well as you would think. Recently, I played basketball with a guy who could probably run twice as far as me, but he was winded on the court. I guess it’s because he was used to a more steady rhythm than that?
Anyway, don’t let it get you down, just incorporate more sprinting into your workouts along with the longer distance stuff. You’ll be caught up quicker than you’d expect.
