Marathon Complete, Back to CrossFit

A New Personal Record for the Marathon
3:59:58, two seconds under four hours.
Towards the middle of the race, I didn’t think I was going to get the sub-4 marathon, but towards the end, I sucked it up and pushed as hard as I could, finishing the last stretch of the Atlanta Marathon with a 5:24 minute mile.
Because of the way that I train, I attribute much of my continued run improvement to CrossFit training methodologies. I am getting stronger – Whole body stronger, which allows my body to hold up, longer, under stressful conditions.
Back to WODS …sorta’
Easing Back In
- A little Berg warm-up
- Hang cleans and squat cleans up to 135lbs
- Front squats up to 155lbs
- six rounds of “Cindy”
- 5 pull-ups
- 10 push-ups
-
15 squats
WOD summary
I started to feel the work in my back. Although I was paying close attention to strict form, staying “tight” throughout the core was tough due to some continued muscle fatigue from the marathon. I chose to stay safe and easy.
There’s always tomorrow.
