Awesome!

Was not expecting that...

Hmm..knee won't take more than 5k at a time. Guess I'll get to make up for missing Murph last cycle.

Yay, something at which I am proficient!

good job rob! 7,000 feet...awesome.

gooooooooo miller

Crap. I've never run that far before. Oh well; no time like the present.

Congratulations Brandon! That is awesome. Sorry I couldn't make it down there to see it.

Robbie is a machine. I am running one day behind, Helen in the AM.

I'm finally back home and will be able to do the WOD's again. I've never run this far before. I'm sure I'll be walking a bit of it.

:flips through record book:
Wow! Eagle, you're a gun! That's pretty damn fast!

haha

freakin world class eagle. world class.

Coach, please block "The Eagle" from posting, s/he is a troll (claiming 26:19 10K, 2 seconds under the WR and a 4:18 Helen time). Thanks.

Crossfit men are the hottest.

Rob, Thanks for employing that push up! Hugs E!!!!
Awesome work.

Nice work Rob!

gotta say eagle the ca-caw makes me kinda like your style. but seriously, pull my other leg and it plays jingle bells.

Wow Eagle, you set the bar pretty high! Why does there have to be one of these in every group? What a tool.

Nice. I've been waiting for this one. Good luck to all. Also looking forward to the Murph that I owe from last week. I'll get that on Wednesday or Thursday.

Has the WOD even been posted for 26 minutes tonight? Hilarious

6 miles? Really?

Oh, and Eagle, you're boasting under a 4:15 mile for 10 kilometers. Get real.

Robbie, way to kick ass at 7000'. You also answered the question, "is it a total of 10 one leg squats or a total of 10?"

I also like the way the gym is organized at Crossfit Flagstaff. You are giving me some great ideas on how to organize my home gym.

Can I post the half marathon time I ran in San Jose on Sunday?

1:36:56 (7:24/mile for 13.1 miles)
38,F

I had done the CrossFit standard warm up 2 night before the race. It helped me avoid fatigue late in the race. Thanks CF.

Robs efforts are inspiring, I like the way he motions for a timeout at the end. cool stuff

ooo man. This is going to hurt.

oh my goodness, so I actually ran this far a couple weeks ago for the first time with a running club here at school.....It sucked! But I sure felt like I conquered something afterwards! Even though I was the last one to finish:). BRING IT! I am actually going to do Helen tomorrow, but I will do the 10K wednesday hopefully.

I did a Half Marathon yesterday in San Luis Obispo, CA. Does that count?

1:49:01

Crossfit begins again later this week when I can feel my legs once again.

Great job Rob. Cool looking gym.

Question re: pistols....I'm decent with my left leg planted, but can't get anything on my right leg.

Is it normal to have this sort of discrepancy the first time you do them?

Brandon, congrats on your National title. The Worlds are in Vegas this year right? Several of the top Combat Challange competitors spend some time training at One World. Maybe Crossfit One World and Crossfit Atlanta need to put a wager on the Worlds? Plus I just got to say, (being a cop and all), you guys have a cake job and everyone luvs firemen. Do you really have to show up at the gym in your turn outs? It's just not fair to the rest of us. You firefighters really take it to far sometimes. :-)

You guys should email me. This could be fun.

Oh yeah, I just want to mention that I hate to run. 10k is going to suck.

Fellow Crossfitians,
A CF affiliate just opened its doors in my home town, but they do their own WOD's which is different than that posted here. I hesitate joining them as I will then feel disconnected from this community which I have come to enjoy immensely. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

thanks.

Hey Spartacus, I post different WOD's from the main site. Group sessions are my programming, but a bunch of us workout on our own following HQ. See if they have an open gym policy so you can do what ever wokout you want. That's the way we run it at One World. No coaching for the folks who follow the main site, but they are all experienced crossfitters anyway. Some of them are crazy enough to do both WOD's in a day.

Hey All.

Just starting to CF and I have a general question: What is the potential, or likelihood, of injuring yourself doing these workouts? Is there likelihood of over-exhertion injuries from the olympic lifts, training injuries from throwing weights around, or joint inflamations from the intensity and awkwardness of the workouts. Also, what are the long-term effects of CFing, especially on the lower back, knees, elbows and shoulders. I love the intensity and applicability of these workouts (I am a boxer and mixed martial artist), but as I am starting a career in the Marine Corps, i have to take into consideration the long-term durability of my body.

Thanks to anyone who can provide insight.

-Sully

ok so i kinda feel like i need to explain myself...i got all kinds of nicknames thru highschool (ex: the hulk and baby swoll) and thats without lifting any weights at all...just my natural physique and i see these girls on the videos who are gorgeous, dont get me wrong, but i dont want my upper body that way... so i apologize for sounding dumb but its a little bit of a sore spot for me so i'm very cautious when i lift weights...im really not trying to cop out.
so i have another question in fear of sounding stupid again but i'll ask nonetheless...id rather swim whats a good equivalent for the 10K run? i busted my knee a year and a half ago and running is still a little iffy for long distances

# 31 freddy c.

Let the hate go, let it go! ;)

My brother is a California Trooper and I am one of those "damn firefighters" (as he phrases it) so we are constantly harassing each other. So I couldn't pass up the chance to spread some love. Be safe out there!

To sarah #35:

First the equiv. swim length, I usually find that a mile of running is roughly equivalent to a 500 of swimming, in terms of time, so I would go for 3100 yds at least...but how about rounding up to an even two miles, at 3500 yds?

As far as the arms go, why don't you give CF a try for three months? It's easy to worry about what might happen and how you would feel about it, but instead how about just trying it, scaled appropriately for your strength (but not for the possibility of too much muscle gain)? If in fact you do find that you don't like the results, then re-evaluate at that point. I can tell you that my arms are actually smaller now, in terms of how clothes fit, than when I started a year and a half ago. They are more muscular, but not so much that I'd do too well at a bodybuilding competition or anything. It takes a long time to get arms like Annie or Nicole, and most of us women will never get there, so I say give it a try, easing in to the degree you need to, and see what you think in three months. Good luck!

Robbie, strong work bro! Very cool socks too ;-)

Brandon, congratulations on the win! And pay no attention to Freddie, who wears his vest and Sam Brown to every workout.

I could not get out of bed the day after the three bars of death. It took me three days to get back into the gym, and after doing Helen (I could only complete one set of kettlebell swings) my back is in pain. Not the usual muscle ache from working hard (the rest of my body feels that) it is in PAIN. I hurt my back about 6 years ago, and it has been a constant nagging injury since then.
Any recommendations? Can I just lower the weight on exercises that require lower back (kettlebell swings, deadlift etc.) and still have an effecient workout.
Any help greatly appreciated.
D-Wreck

Yoga forward bends (but be very careful and keep very strict form). Even more strict form when weight lifting, never bend your lower back.

first Helen in 11:40 min then, after a couple of min rest, run round the lake in 47:41 min (ca 8 km)
Have fun, Johan

Running in Cold Weather

I'm in upstate, NY. In cooold weather, running is murderous on my trachea and upper lungs. What do Northern crossfitters do in the winter?

for, example - what would be the equivalent number of jump ropes for a 1K run?

At the risk of sounding stupid, what exactly is a combat firefighter? Have our neighborhoods gotten that bad?

Sub with an equivalent time of something else. Swimming, biking, elliptical, etc. And it can't be THAT cold in NY yet, but putting something over your mouth while running would also help. Or a treadmill..

D-Wreck: I am guessing you are the sort who won't take this advice, but do it anyway: working out is not going to do you ANY good right now, it is going to harm you. Take 2 cycles off (that is 9 days) ice your back 20 min a day up to 8x a day. Rest up. If you have access to a C2 rower, row 2500K for the next cycle: then go back to the WODs at a moderate pace. Working out damaged will just slow down you overall progress: think long term.

Sarah: Personally I think you should embrace your genetic gift. What I would give to have your genes! And I think if you start hanging our with CF women who are supportive (and envious) of your physique rather than the goofballs who are making fun of you, your self-image may change. However: CF will not make you particularly large, especially if you go on the zone diet and eat slightly less than your caloric requirement. CF particularly tends not to build large arms.

BTW are there pictures of you online anywhere? I am wondering if you are truly off the map in terms of muscularity or just sensitive to what you perceive as not fitting the "Cosmo" image.

Let me steer you towards some posts and articles:

I wrote this:

http://www.crossfitoakland.com/archives/2006/10/slightly_naught.html

And I am going to repost the full text of this excellent article here:

If I were feeling a little more lawless, I’d gather all the copies of Cosmo and Seventeen, douse them in kerosene, and strike a match. I’d throw in reams of print ads from Calvin Klein and watch with delight as Kate Moss’ stick-thin image was reduced to carbon. I’d add copies of Shape and Runner’s World until the flames reached toward the heavens, and then I’d crank call the editorial desk at Muscle and Fitness until they stopped publishing pictures of women on steroids.

I’d get the master tapes of America’s Next Top Model and dub over them with “Nasty Girls”, broadcasting the results on every television station in America. I’d skywrite “CrossFit.com” across the Boston skyline, and gently admonish the hoards of long distance runners trotting along the Charles River—with a bullhorn.

I’d take every woman with mass media-induced ideals of beauty, and I’d show them what it really means to be beautiful.

Beautiful women are strong and powerful. They are athletes, capable of every feat under the sun. They have muscles, borne of hard work and sweat. They gauge their self-worth through accomplishments, not by the numbers on the bathroom scale. They understand that muscle weighs more than fat, and they love the fact that designer jeans don’t fit over their well-developed quads.

They know that high repetitions using light weights is a path to mediocrity, and “toning” is a complete and utter myth. They refuse to succumb to the marketers that prey on insecurity, leaving the pre-packaged diet dinners and fat-burning pills on the shelf to pass their expiration date.

Beautiful women train with intensity. They derive self-image from the quality of their work and their ability to excel, and they wouldn’t be caught dead with a vinyl pink dumbbell. They move iron, they do pull-ups, they jump, sprint, punch, and kick, and they use the elliptical machine—as a place to hang their jump rope.

They spend their weekends in sport, climbing walls, winning races, and running rivers. They laugh as they sprint circles around the unschooled, turning the image-obsessed into benchwarmers. Beautiful women don’t care if they’re soaked in sweat and covered in dirt, if their nails are chipped or their hair out of place. They care only about quality of life.

Beautiful women are happy, healthy, and strong, and they’re right there beside me, tossing conventional beauty on the ever-growing flames of what used to be.

Be beautiful.

Jon Gilson --AgainFaster/CrossFit Boston

I'm also working on a series of articles on how to modify CF for various different goals: endurance, strength, aesthetic, muscle growth (or inhibition), fat loss, etc. It should be on CF East Bay in the next few weeks.

I'd like to ask some advice from some who might have some good insight.

I'm naturally smaller and weaker in my biceps, lats and chest. It's been that way for as long as I can remember and I've been working out for several years.

Is there anything I can do to help these muscles catch up or should I just stay with the WOD's as prescribed?

Thanks for any input.

John

Brandon way to represent the ATL.
I'll definitely back you if the wager is made with Freddy.

sprained my ankle pretty badly last night at a basketball game, no more crossfit for a few days anyways. too bad, i was looking forward to doing helen today. good luck everyone

Sully,

I own and operate a personal training studio... Most of the WOD's you do run a certain risk for injuries if the exercises aren't done properly! This is especially important and sometimes hard to maintain perfect form when fatigue has set in. I'm using crossfit to cut down some bodyfat and it does the trick for sure and builds great endurance. One negative with the WOD's is often times you work the same muscle groups on 2 sometimes 3 consecutive days. This doesnt give muscles a change to recover and grow

Me personally I'm in week 5 of CF of a planned 8

I started at 6'4 238 15% bf
I am now 6'4 229 13.5 % dropped approx 6lb fat and lost 3 lbs muscle

Brandon ... very nice, congratulations!

Sub question:

I cannot run during the week, as I have my daughter all day, then work at night. I know the standard prescription for subbing for runs, but I can't swim or bike either. I was just wondering what some ideas were for finding a workout that is somewhat comparable. I was thinking of doing a KB snatch breathing ladder, but am usure if this is approximate to today's effort or useful.

Dan & Mike- Keeping it real in the Atl.

a few days behind, but in a few hours after taking down Mary and Helen, I should be back on track by the next rest day.

#59 John

My upper body always has been my weakest part. I was quite strong with my legs due to the leg oriented sports i practiced in my childhood, and my arms were so weak it was not even funny...

Do the wods, scale them as you need, listen to your body. Don't focus on little muscles because you think they aren't developed enough, do the wods, slowly climb your way to the Rx'd wods, and you'll see that when you'll be at that level, your whole body will be in harmony, and evey part will have been developed to the "required" level.

Remember, crossfit develops your weakness, and your only as strong as your weakest link.

Besides the obvious, row, you can jump rope for the same time it would normally take you to run 10K or you can make up a leg intensive MetCon that would last about the same amount of time. The last 10K I had just run a day or 2 before so I did this instead and it was intense and the best part the only equipment needed is a plyo box:

MikeeG,

If its in your budget, get a treadmill. I have a pretty nice one in my basement in front of my TV.

I'll run for an hour and not even notice if there's something good on. I'm in the same boat, when I'm with my 19 month old son. He just plays on the floor in front of me while I run. Its great. Good luck!

Maximus is great! He is so incredibly supportive of women in athletics and just getting out and living your life.

Sarah-
Enjoy your body for what it is. I have a mesomorph body type and am also overweight. However, I don't let it stop me from learning new skills, lifting weights, and enjoying CrossFit. I also enjoy being self sufficient.

#86, mikeman

Crossfit suggests against rice (and most grains, for that matter) for many reasons.

Firstly, even though many people consider rice to be a "complex carbohydrate" it actually has a very high glycemic index (meaning it enters your bloodstream faster than other carbohydrates, such as those in vegetables or fruits).

Rice's high glycemic index, when paired with the fact that it is also VERY rich in carbohydrates as a whole (1 cup of cooked, brown, long grain rice has over 200 calories and over 46g carbs) means that a whole ton of sugar enters your bloodstream very quickly when you consume rice.

High blood sugar means that your body must produce insulin to lower the blood sugar level in your body. The higher blood sugar you have, the more insulin you have to produce to counteract this. This has many negative effects...

In the short term, a high insulin production will lead to a foggy and lathargic feeling. You won't want to move very much, and want to take a big nap. This is usually what happens when you eat a big pasta or rice dinner (or even thanksgiving, with all the stuffing, yams and other high glycemic index carbs that are consumed, its hardly the tryptophan that makes you tired.) This tired feeling is caused by a massive amount of insulin that is produced to lower blood sugar. Way too much insulin is produced all at once, causing blood sugar levels to plummet meaning that now your brain is getting less sugar, and cannot function at full capacity.

In the long term, many many studies have shown that high levels of insulin consistently throughout life increases mortality rates and decreases longevity. This is accepted as 'common fact' among nutritional circles. By limiting rices and grains and substituting them with vegetables you are lowering the amount of insulin you produce and thereby, according to these studies, increase your longevity.

This is just brushing on the topic, but thats a pretty short explanation as to why we avoid rices, breads and grains here at CrossFit. ;)

I feel the same way. I only go to the local affiliate here on Saturdays for a few reasons, but one major reason is they don't follow the posted WOD. I usually end up having to drive to my globo gym following the workout at the affiliate so I can do the posted WOD also. Anyway, I do have to say it is fun to actually be able to workout with other crossfitters, and you do have that sense of community, but it's different then on the website. I don't know if that helps much, but I guess what I am trying to say is if you have time maybe hit them up 1-2x per week and see if you like it.

I've read the Zone book and have been following. So to make a 4 block meal (based on calcs I need 19-20 blocks/day), I would be able use one block for rice and I've been using beans (black, kidney, chick peas) to fill the rest of carb blocks because I can't really commute to work with 2-3 cups of broccoli. Is this a good way to get the carbs I need while staying away from rice? Thanks

#73, Atrain,

You need to read up on CrossFit methodology to understand the rationale of the workouts.

Your statement "work the same muscle groups on 2 sometimes 3 consecutive days. This doesnt give muscles a change to recover and grow" reflects the standard bodybuilding paradigm.

What they are referring to is firefighters who compete in the Combat Challenge. It's a timed event in which firefighters complete a series of evolutions simulating fireground operations. It's a butt kicker. The guys and gal I know that do it are animals!

#34 ND Marine 08,

The only answer to those questions is, "It depends."

Everyone gets hurt from time-to-time, some more than others, but it's got nothing to do with CF or the exercises. I used to get hurt a lot more before CF and was a lot more brittle but now I can withstand the pounding that gets doled out every time so the long-term effects for me are vast improvements. People that get hurt due to over-zealousness or lack of experience can only blame themselves for not approaching with more caution. And those in training for another sport need to know that CF can help your performance but you can't do both at 110% all the time, you have to prioritize. Any of that make sense? And CF ain't awkward, we are...

Decided to do a ruck instead of a run... so 65 lb ruck march... 1:17.

Uhh.. they didn't--I joined an Olympic Lifting team last week so I didn't do any WODs on top of the practice. Shame on me, I know.
For some reason the I've been extremely tired and hungry. My friends were starting to worry because the only times I got out of bed was to go to the fridge. Now I can't fit in my jeans.

Since running days are my rest days I'm going to make up MURPH today. Figured it will be a good one to get me back on track and back in my skinny jeans!

According to the zone diet ideology as presented by Barry Sears, it doesnt necessarily matter how you get your carbs. According to Sears, you can eat all your carb blocks in rice or chocolate chips or carrots, so long as gram for gram the carbs are there with enough protein and fats to keep the uptake into your blood stream in check.

Sears still emphasizes that there are unfavorable and favorable carbs and I tend to agree with this assertion. The only things that really separates the two are caloric density (how much actual carb there is per gram of food) and glycemic index (how fast the carbs are actually 'injected' into your bloodstream). try to eat those that sears has listed as favorable, obviously, but a bit from the unfavorable is OK (and necessary from time to time to keep your sanity)

So, how does this answer the question "Is this a good way to get the carbs I need while staying away from rice?" Basically, you are doing a good thing and eating to maintain a hormone balance. You recognize that you cannot eat 5 cups of beans to replace 5 cups of broccoli, and thats good. The legumes you are consuming are a good source of carbohydrate and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). Additionally, they are calorically dense so that you don't need to carry very much around with you (like 5 cups of broccoli). Caloric Density may be "unfavorable" when you want to sit and enjoy a massive meal with tons of vegetable, but it is necessary to eat calorically dense food when you have to be on the move or do not have time to prepare those foods that are less dense.

One more thing I would like to note is that if you stay away from grains 100%, you will find yourself craving them hardcore at certain points. That's fine, and you can satiate that hunger guilt free so long as you eat block for block. Don't think you can eat the bread with the beans and the rice and keep yourself in a hormonal balance (it sounds like you understand this already).

If you do eat grains to satisfy those cravings, however, try to be consume whole grains (whole wheat bread, 7 grain bread, whole wheat tortilla shells). And if you must have the rice, brown rice is obviously the way to go.

hope i helped

Sarah,

I agree with Maximus 100%. The thin, non-muscular girls I see on college campuses are fun to look at, but they make terrible company if you're an outdoors type of person.

Most men worth hanging out with want a woman that can keep up with them on a backpacking or mountain biking trip, or pull their weight canoeing, help them move the couch, shoot some hoops, or whatever... and guess what? those girls have muscle. While I've seen pictures of freaky steroid chicks, I have NEVER met or seen a woman in real life that I thought was too muscular. If anything it makes them more attractive because I know they aren't afraid to sweat, and I know they have confidence in themselves. Anyone who says otherwise is probably not worth your time.

Great question. Not so easy to answer, because there are many variables. I had the same concerns about Crossfit initially. What I've found is that Crossfit is less likely to cause repetitive injury than more "traditional" cardio and bodybuilding style workouts.
Because we are constantly mixing it up, we aren't really at as great a risk from the typical repetitive overuse. Most NON-crossfit workouts tend to be very one dimensional and repetitive. That is where your injuries come in. Talk to an orthopedic surgeon, and it's amazing how many guys cannot give up heavy bench press for example. It's an ego thing, and the source of many many rotator cuff injuries.
Also you will find that the great majority of crossfit workouts are less than 30 minutes in duration, and are in fact relatively low impact. Today's 10k is a very rare occurrence. I have seen FAR more injuries from "cardio nuts" who can't bring themselves to stop running all those junk miles. There's your injury. Or the gal who wants to do an hour on the stepper 5 times a week.
So you pose some pretty tough questions:

Question #1: What is the potential, or likelihood, of injuring yourself doing these workouts?

A: There is really no way anyone can give you an answer to that question, it's totally hypothetical, but assuming you have a foundation of fitness, start slow and scale the workouts according to your ability, use good form and technique,etc... I think the risk/benefit ratio comes out really favorable for Crossfit.

Question #2: Is there likelihood of over-exhertion injuries from the olympic lifts, training injuries from throwing weights around, or joint inflamations from the intensity and awkwardness of the workouts?

A: YES! AT some point you will experience all of that. If you don't, then I'd be worried you're not doing anything meaningful. No one who pushes himself can avoid it. I don't know what you mean by "awkwardness" of the workouts though.

Question #3: Also, what are the long-term effects of CFing, especially on the lower back, knees, elbows and shoulders?

A: To my knowledge, no one has compiled data on crossfit athletes, or performed a study or analysis of this. My response would be to ask you a question. What do you want? Do you want elite fitness? If you do, then you will have to push your body into uncharted territory. What is your alternative? I personally incurred more injuries before crossfit, than I have while involved in it. The conditions necessary for long term damage are not really present, in my opinion, with crossfit. Because it is so inclusive, you are always doing something different, instead of always doing the same damn thing like everyone else at the gym! Those are the people who are more likely to be injured.

One last thing, I disagree that crossfit has you using the same muscle groups on consecutive days. That is rare, and when it does occur, a careful analysis will show that movements are sufficiently different, or occur on different planes with different dynamics, different loads, volumes and rep schemes. Often the prime mover on one day will act as a stabilizer the next day, etc... Even so let's say that once in a great while it does occur. So what? It's so rare that it's not gonna hurt a thing anyway. Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,
Tim

Pr if you can call it that (weakness exposed )only 2nd 10k could not find pace

re: #99 I agree with you Mark, restricting or excluding foods tend to cause cravings for those same foods, albeit emotional or physical. Combining proteins and carbs with healthy fats is quite effective. Meal spacing is also key to glucose control, which goes a long way towards blunting cravings. I would generally limit starchy carbs to a single meal a day or every other day in the correct proportions and caloric amounts to maintain the desired defeciet. Works for me.

Re:
The discussion on rice and grains. Many good sources show that the glycemic index can be a bit misleading. Those values are only valid when a particular food is consumed all by itself. I think you can eat rice and beans, whole grains, on occasion, not in excess, and you won't have any problems. The key to weight loss and improved body composition is a moderate caloric deficit, not the glycemic index. There is too much hype over insulin and insulin resistance etc...
The real culprit is the consumption of excess calories in any form. That is what appears to cause hyperinsulinemia. You can eat carbs, just try to make sure they have some value, some nutrient density, fiber, etc.. I don't even the occasional donut or ice cream is really going to blow your diet to smithereens. Just cut those calories out somewhere else and you're fine.

Had to use old treadmill - not sure distance gage worked properly. Hope not b/c this took much longer than I expected.

is that some random dude casually snatching 225 in the background? ha. nice job.

to #73 Atrain - dude you've got it all wrong, especially for someone who trains people. it's not about body fat or muscle groups. Its about overall core strength, the ability for your body to use that core to strengthen itself overall, and to be strong in functional ways for relevant periods of time. The idea of crossfit isn't to get your "legs/tris mondays" and "bi/abs wednesdays" in. as you've noticed, the WOD works your whole body, and doesn't go for muscle groups. Its over all body endurance. You can recover on the rest day with the help of a proper diet. And fatigue is the whole point - your body gets stronger when pushed to the limits, not when doing dainty bicep curls. Look for a picture of a crossfitter on here, you'll find they all look very proportional, even though body sculpting is the opposite of the point here.

ugh, the sacrilege. reminds me of high school when i did everything for 3 sets of 10 and had a muscle group "schedule".

#99, Mark, #207, david o: let's face it, we all love rice, pasta. Try this for a delicious rice sub; quinoa. It's a complete protein that cooks like rice and has a tasty, nutty flavor. Arroz con pollo? Just sub quinoa.A good health food store or Whole Foods will have it. A great pasta choice is Barilla's Plus, its a high protein pasta made with lentils and a bunch of other stuff so it's low glycemic. Tastes great, it's my cheat night pasta. Now off to the kitchen with you two, we're hungry!

Re: Tim #211

I tend to agree with you in some respects. I do believe that the glycemic index can be hyped up a bit but it does have a role. I will still say that eating 200 calories of beef with 200 calories of almonds and 250 calories of rice is still going to cause a faster increase in blood sugar than replacing the 250 cals of rice with 250 calories of broccoli.

With that said, though, it is not necessary to beat urself up over rice if you do incorporate it into a balanced meal. Thats what I was saying to Mark, but what I was also saying was the the vegetables and fruits, in my opinion, are much more beneficial to diet overall due to fiber content, micronutrient content and an overall less involved processing proceedure.

And as for caloric restriction, i really need to do much more reading on that and intermittant fasting...it seems like there is an abundance of data that says that caloric restriction leads to an increase in longevity but I am unclear how that can be related to muscle growth....muscles need calories and nutrients to grow, so I am not sure how caloric restriction can be applied to strength and conditioning training....any resources on that?

Chris

another thing to add is that many times rice is subbed into a meal (like when you order a meal at a restaurant and it comes with a side of rice) for other carbs. The amount of rice that is served to you usually exceeds that of a vegetable substitution if you ask for it....

That means that if you eat out, you are getting less veggies compared to rice for the same order, gram for gram. Eating that whole plate of rice is bad news if its only accompanied by one 3 oz piece of chicken or beef.

did it. best i can say about it.

first 5k was with friend. went slow to run with her. didn't keep time.

last 5k was alone @27:12. went slower than full speed ahead because i'm still schwacked from the linda, murph, mary, helen extravaganza. and, i still want my mommy, only less urgently than i did yesterday.

ran the first 5k on the beach in the loose sand. then really didnt feel like running back another 5k. so i hopped on the road and headed home. the redtide was wonderful for the first 5k. had a nice view of a lot of dead fish and a dead sea turtle. i am now tired.

Chris,
Very good points, I agree.

I've heard the same thing regarding caloric restriction and longevity. I don't know if I'm willing to be a guinea pig for that theory though! Ha ha! Life is supposed to be lived after all.
Caloric restriction is appropriate for anyone who wants fat loss. The trick is not to drop the calories TOO low, because then I think it backfires, and your metabolism slows down. I'm all about meal timing, pre and post-workout nutrition windows, and total caloric intake. I basically try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible. I posted a link the other day on here to a great website, don't know if you saw it. I have not found a more comprehensive, info-packed website than this one. Check out this list, you'll love it. If you ate nothing but what's on this list, wow you'd be doing awesome.

http://whfoods.org/foodstoc.php

If I need a degree in bio-chemistry to decipher the list of ingredients, then I probably don't need to eat it, (at least not very often.)
With regard to fasting, I don't know of any benefits to it, but I have heard that it can slow your metabolism down. I can't say I know of much purpose in it. I could be totally ignorant though.

I've never run over 3k before in my life, I hate running. Came into the gym today and told myself to just do it!

I ran just over 10.2k, as measured from our gym here in Vancouver. I ran to BC Place, around it 9 times, and then back. Each time around I had to run up 2 huge flights of stairs, and then back down the same amount on the other side. That really added some variety, I liked it.

I'm so excited I actually finished and didn't have to stop.

may have been addressed before, but here goes; when using a treadmill for time on wods, wouldn't intervals be faster as the work is essentially keeping up with a moving belt as opposed to driving yourself forward against gravity and an immovable surface, (earth)?

gosh I have no idea! I think my pukie was brought on by 3 consecutive days of late night drinking + 4-5 hours of sleep which = bad hangovers. why does wine and champagne have to taste so damn good? ;-)

I didn't know you were another globo-gym'er! you are right 'spilling your tea' on the nice globo gym carpet would have been hilarous! I work at mine so they would have just made me clean it up...and then fired me. :P

44:10

First ever attempt at a 10k, and because it was so nice out tonight I decided to do it outside. Had to run through a few red lights, but I did ~6.05 miles in 44:10. I even sprinted the last half mile before a cool down walk, then 1/4 mile jog home. I even felt like I could run more. I sweat a puddle when I got home, but it felt great!

A little stretching a short jog to warm up.

10k
Time - 53:17

Ran on the wet grass and through the mud just after rain let up (I hate running on concrete). It just makes me wonder how much I can beat this time by next time if conditions are better... oh, and if my running shoes had any traction left on them that might help my time also.

5km run in 26:10.

Anytime I run more than this my left foot literally falls asleep and my ankle begins to hurt after a couple of minutes of running while this happens.

10k run

56:44

was pretty windy out today, the "out" portion of my out and back 10k route felt almost like a 5k sled pull, and the back wind on the second half hardly seemed to make it up. felt good though, realized a little too late that I could have paced myself a bit faster.

did my 10k on sunday, 39:57.
then did the bear today. the bear sucks.

went from 95# to 133#. dropped it coming down after the 5th rep on the last set. winced in pain, called the bar a bitch and then knocked out my last two.

Congrats to the boys that rowed 10K today. Some really nice times, Kyle, adc and others...

Pace was a bit too slow in the middle...Worked really hard at the end to keep it under 43 mins.

probably a true statement saying the treadmill is faster even though you have to wait and let it speed up. my michael time is faster on the tm than when i actually run it outside. that is the only case i have done one on the tm and one with a run outside. so that is all i am going off of. anyone else?

Would have loved to have tried the 10K today but woke up this morning with sore heels. I'm afraid that I'm developing plantar fasciitis so I thought I better not run today. I think that the extra running I'm doing may be hurting me.

Today I subbed a 55 minute Spinnerval routine to give my heels a break. Hopefully next time when this routine comes around I can do it.

63:15 .. stopped twice to stretch my quads quick. No other breaks. 1st 10K for me in 29 yrs. Couldn't have done it a month ago when i started CF. I like having joined this community. All your posts keep me motivated ")

How does a 10k run fit in with the CrossFit philosophy?

Quote from the foundations pdf:
"Well, at CrossFit we work exclusively with ... shorter high intensity cardiovascular sessions."

"There is a near universal misconception that long distance athletes are fitter that their short distance counterparts. The triathlete, cyclist, and marathoner are often regarded as among the fittest athletes on earth. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The endurance athlete has trained long past any cardiovascular health benefit..."

Isn't 10k a bit too long?

6"5" 19y m, 207lbs

Ran accidentally 10064 meters instead of exactly 10k in 47.25 mins

I'm really proud of my time. Doing a kilometer in 4 mins is easy, but keeping the pace for nine more is a different experience.

My main goal is to improve my own fitness, but I must say I'm happy I am better than some people that posted on these comments. My long legs probably helped a lot though lol

In all the previous CF workouts i did so far, my time/performance was lame compared to you guys. Good job and keep it all up, because I will for sure.

Did not stop during the run. First time I've ever run a 5 K without stopping. felt pretty good afterwards. Just got into the runner's zone and stayed there. Maybe next time I can attempt the 10 K.

I've quickly realized that if I go all out on the Workout of the Day that it easily turns into the Workout of the Week due to the fact that it takes me so long to recover (except on the heavy lifts -- I rock that stuff.)

So in the spirit of patience of starting a new way of exercising I'm going to scale these waaaay back so that I can initially do them everyday.

was shooting for 60 with no stops--have done slightly better but multiple walk/runs in last 5k, wanted to do it all in one run--felt really good at 4.5 mile on, think fatigue forces one to become more efficient at jog/run. heart and lungs felt great, calves, heels, thighs very tired and beaten in that order.

Okay, I'm old and slow so I figured I'd ride the Schwinn Airdyne for 45 minutes, because that is about how long it would take me to go 10k running at my amazing speed of a turtle.

Ugh. Never run this far in my life.

Ran with spousal unit, who has a much slower pace than I...
34F134, 5k ~37:00
... thought I would freeze in T-shirt and shorts at 8PM. Took the jacket and went another lap. Felt pretty good when I turned the corner (literally) that marks the 3/4 point for 10k.

34M 180#, 10k ~1:10:00. Not winded at all, knees, hips took a beating and still sore the next day.

Running sucks.
