Whoa...memories of when i was a young Marine comm/nav tech on an f/a-18B. Except it wasn't a smiley face if i was up there looking down into the WSO seat.

Tip of the spear - NC National Guard Armor - HOOAH!

Hehe...

That worked out great! I have my semi annual PFT tomorrow, 3 mile run so I won't have my crossfit exercise routine disturbed in any way!

Comment #5 - Posted by: b ring - crossfit richmond at November 28, 2007 7:20 PM

Hmmm, forcast calls for a high of -12C tomorrow (~10F), this could be a chilly run!

Great video today, that will be a good teaching tool for future kippers.

Comment #6 - Posted by: gaucoin at November 28, 2007 7:20 PM

My coach called this one.

Total:
Squat 175- easy. it went right up. Should have started higher. Previous PR 155
DL- 205 Previous PR 175
Press-75 Could have done 78 but tried 80 and couldn't lock out. previous PR 67

Total 455

Any one else see this one coming? I'm not complaining...

Comment #9 - Posted by: rob at November 28, 2007 7:32 PM

I told my husband we would have a run this round.
Awesome. I'm excited to practice my kipping pull ups tomorrow too!
Hey all you Zoners- do you guys have any favorite Zone snacks? I'm getting tired of protein shakes, protein bars, and cottage cheese. Any favorites?

Comment #10 - Posted by: Gnat at November 28, 2007 7:37 PM

I was expecting 10 but 5 will do :)

#9 I know this might sound terrible but have you ever tried mixing some natural fruit jelly into your cottage cheese? It helps add a little variety.

Comment #11 - Posted by: DubFit 21.179.6'1" at November 28, 2007 7:41 PM

sweet, been waiting for a 5k for a while - back in my element. Looking for a sub 18:30 this time.

Gnat - it may not be zone, but here's a shake I that I'm absolutely hooked on

- 6 large ice cubes
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup of granola
- couple table spoons of honey
- 3 heaping table spoons of vanilla yogurt
- scoop of vanilla protien powder (I prefer ISOPRO Low Carb)
- 1/2 of a banana
- pour in milk during blending for consistency

I have one every day for breakfast, and after a workout.

Comment #12 - Posted by: Simon at November 28, 2007 7:51 PM

23yo/f/5'5/143

Was expecting more from this Total. Not sure why (other than the mighty GREED), since this is my first official Total.

Squat: 195 (ties previous PR)
Press: 85 (also ties previous PR)
Deadlift: 225lbs. (again, tied PR)

Total: 505

Think I need a better metal preparation. I tried to go higher on each lift, but could not get proper positioning/form, and failed at all weights higher than previous PR. Boo.

Still, though, Fun workout for a girl to do in a recreational gym. Girls with heavy weights turns heads...

Comment #13 - Posted by: Jasmine at November 28, 2007 7:57 PM

I love it - 11 previous comments and not a single complaint about running a 5K! That's progress.

So who is the Aussie WSO? Does anyone know?

Comment #17 - Posted by: JPW at November 28, 2007 8:16 PM

Gnat- 3oz Beef Jerkey, 1 Tbs Peanut Butter, 16oz Guinness

Or..

String cheese, Apple, Almonds (Rob special)/Orange, Almonds, Turkey.. Etc..

Go with what tastes good to you & as natural/whole as you can get it. I'm sure there's Zoners out there who follow it more strictly then I year around who have some good ones. Just stay in the "Good". But then again I did actually strip the meat off Chicken Wings & weight them to see how many would make 5 oz. Arrgghh..

Get some, Go again!

Comment #18 - Posted by: DJ at November 28, 2007 8:29 PM

31 m, 5"8', 170. This is convenient, I did a PFT today. 3 miles in 20:57.
I know, I'm slacking.
But I got my 20 & 100.

Comment #19 - Posted by: John H at November 28, 2007 8:29 PM

A kipping instructional video?!!! I was so excited to see that. I have been struggling with getting the kip down. Now I can't wait until tomorrow so I can get started on it.

Comment #20 - Posted by: hub at November 28, 2007 8:31 PM

#9

1/2 cup raw oats
1 cup water
1 1/2 scoops vanilla whey protein
1/2 apple or 1 peach or 1 cup strawberries
1 tbsn olive oil
1 tbsn natural peanut butter
1/2 tspn honey

Cook the oats and water for 5 mins on Medium microwave power while you cut up the fruit. Then mix it all together.

157 F + 206 C + 156 P = 519

I guess 5 blocks is a snack for some (I'm trying to gain 10 lbs). I have it every day 2 1/2 hours before my evening workout followed by a cup of coffee. Hasn't failed me yet. Keep switching up the fruit and it never gets old.

Late post on yesterday's workout

2x15 CFWU

Deadlift: 460# (PR

an improvement of 110# since last CFT. Most of that coming in my deadlift

MU's: 1,1,5 (still working on doing 10 in a row)

Comment #22 - Posted by: Neags at November 28, 2007 8:38 PM

Put on those flight gloves and roll down those sleeves mister! LOL

I hope my damn indoor soccer injuries won't get in the way of my 5K time.

Comment #23 - Posted by: Adam W at November 28, 2007 8:38 PM

My favorite zone meals...

smoothie....banana protein powder, soy milk, black berries (frozen), cashews
(make an extra block and stick in the freezer for dessert that night)

oatmeal....steel cut oatmeal, berries, banana protein powder, toasted almonds

salad....feta cheese, grape tomatoes, spinach, red onion, balsamic, olive oil

dinner....steam in bag salmon, steam in bag broc (put slices of lemon on the salmon before you steam it....yum)

Comment #24 - Posted by: lara at November 28, 2007 8:39 PM

Can't wait for the rest of the kipping pull up video series. My form is poor!

Does anyone here know anyone who does CrossFit at Carleton University in Ottawa (other than me?) I'm taking on being the sports editor for the school paper for December and I want to do an article about Crossfit but can't interview myself...

Comment #27 - Posted by: Chris from Tx at November 28, 2007 8:48 PM

Glad there's some running coming around again... hopefully not too much. Would love to see how my 5K has progressed. Probably doing it on a treadmill since I suck at keeping pace otherwise.

Keep these "progression videos" coming, I love them!

Comment #28 - Posted by: xpaz at November 28, 2007 8:48 PM

I recently found a 4 foot section of telephone pole on the beach and have been thinking of ways to incorporate it into my crossfit routine. It works great flipping end over end like a large tire but I am sure the collective crossfit community can come up with some other moves. Any thoughts??

Thanks -

Comment #29 - Posted by: Smitty at November 28, 2007 8:49 PM

Should be a perfect day for a fall run tomorrow - 62 & sunny - yeah! And finally a HQ WOD I can do with a tweaked shoulder for the last week.

Any others posting on Logsitall.com? I haven't been able to figure out the run standings, yet - any suggestions? I figured out all other standings. But I'm interested to see how the CF ladies stack up against each other. I'm shooting for under 22 mins tomorrow.

I called this one, or rather, I called that it'd involve mostly running. Loved the CFT, hopefully the running will be nice to me..

Comment #33 - Posted by: Mark F at November 28, 2007 9:28 PM

Thanks for all the Zone snack ideas so far. Those smoothies all sound good. I will try them for sure. Unfortunately my 3 year old son has a severe peanut/nut allergy so we don't stock any nuts in the house (too risky). Too bad because they are such a great protien snack.
Have a great run tomorrow all!

Comment #34 - Posted by: Gnat at November 28, 2007 9:31 PM

I have been hearing alot about the "zone" in the comment section lately. Ihave been doing CF alone for something like 8-9 months now bu tam seriously lacking in the diet arena. (why are Cold-O's so good?)Does anyone have a link to some info. on it. Thanks alot!!

Comment #35 - Posted by: Jake O. at November 28, 2007 9:33 PM

20mins 25secs

Trying to get sub 20 for about 2 months. And it's awesome running weather here in Sydney, so there is no excuse!

I was pumped for this .. oh well maybe next time!

Good job with the PB's AllisonNYC, very inspiring!

Comment #36 - Posted by: Mechelle at November 28, 2007 9:40 PM

A great snack idea is a bean salad. It keeps in the fridge, or you can make a big bunch and freeze in containers and thaw small portions later.

3 cans beans (Drained and patted dry...I like Garbanzo, Black and White Northern)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
Celery, chopped

Mix the above, then make your own vinagrette:
Olive Oil
Lemon Juice
Rice Wine Vinegar
Minced Cilantro
Salt Pepper

Toss them all together and enjoy! I love vinegary and crunchy things, so this is awesome. the Rice Wine Vinegar also makes it just a bit sweet. Im a big snacker, so I can grab this out of the fridge and take a few spoonfuls whenever and it satisfies me. Good alternative protein, fiber and a little fat.

P.S. If you dont pat the beans dry, it will get soupy with the vinagrette. It makes a big difference...

I'm from Canada and right now its winter and it's damn cold. I was thinking of buying weights and kettlebell and train outside in the winter with it. Is this a good idea?

Comment #43 - Posted by: Kajan at November 28, 2007 10:45 PM

5K = 26:05

Comment #44 - Posted by: Todd 37/5'6"/220lbs (Kandahar, Afghanistan) at November 28, 2007 10:48 PM

I'm actually psyched the WOD is 5k. Couldn't do the WOD today because a) trying Murph out yesterday messed me up for today (shoulders, quads and knees were tender), and b) I just got done with work (I live in NYC so its 2:30am). Now I can knock both out tomorrow! 3 2 1 Go!

Comment #45 - Posted by: GMT-NYC at November 28, 2007 11:38 PM

Comment #47 - Posted by: Cris M at November 29, 2007 1:23 AM

NEED HELP -

Full backsquat - 455lbs and could probably of went higher today.

Deadlift - 385lbs (weak, but complete) / 405lbs (failed)

Given all I've read, these numbers should be reversed (higher numbers on deadlift than on squats). What is a likely cause for lack of strength in the deadlift (form flaw/ weak muscle group / both / other)?

Frustrated, but NEVER QUIT!

I dislike running more than doing "Linda" back to back. Infact, I would rather do a LindaNancyLindaMaryLinda WOD instead of running 5K!
I don't have time to do this until 1:00 anyway, so at least I have some time to suck it up and then GET SOME!

THANK YOU EVERYONE YESTERDAY FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND ADVICE WITH REGARDS TO MY SHOULDER! THIS IS A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY, AND I AM GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU ALL AS PART OF MY LIFE!

Side note: A-NYC~
I saw the some of your new pics on your page, and what a transformation has taken place! IT'S AWESOME!! I've done the same thing on my page, pics that show a CF timeline. But WOW! An obvious decrease in BF, increase in lean mass, and most importantly an even BIGGER smile on your face as time goes on! Keep it up! Remember I was a fan and friend before you got famous, so don't foret about the "little" people! LOL!

Why not? I love training outside in the cold. Grantid, I live in Virginia Beach now, so it really doesn't get cold here at all. But when I lived in New Endland in the mountains,...well, there is already plenty of snow on the ground now up there, and has been for a few weeks!

I personally think that the fresh air, be it cold or not, is invigorating, and helps with the drive to finish!

HEY, look at Rocky IV when he was in Russia...running through the snow with a darn tree on back! GET SOME!

Comment #58 - Posted by: Don Sather at November 29, 2007 4:19 AM

my time SUCKS!!!!!!
but to my credit ive never run on ice before [im in russia and its been snowing for weeks].

5k -- 36.52
summer my time is usually around 24, which is still junk.

anyone got any winter running experience? im stuck here for the next 8 months, but im going in the marines when i get back so any help would be super useful. email me if you can

thank

I stand corrected, Marc T-C. I think he is Canadian. I was thinking RCAF flight suits had yellow on their shoulderboards, but now I see the C. I love the leather flight gear.

I've lived in California for only three years and I already forgot what its like to run in subfreezing temps. Brrr.

M/22/6'1"/185

Time Trials in swim practice this morning
1650 = 15:58, first time ever breaking 16 min, I hate distance
200 fly = 1:52.44
100 fly = 51.98 - got off the blocks and turns slow
50 free = 20.49 - good start, slow turn

The question that's on everyone's mind, well, my mind, is should I do the 5k. Abso-freaking-lutely.

I finally got my brother hooked on Crossfit. I'm really excited. Like a lot of us, he's done quite a bit of bodybuilding type weight training in the past, but a lot of the Crossfit exercises are new. Yesterday was his third workout this week. The other night, during the 9 rep round of Elizabeth, he did the first 3 cleans, staggered over, leaned against the car and said, while gasping for breath, "It's like...my lungs...can't get enough in 'em." Then a minute later, still gasping, he said, "This workout...is so deceiving...you look at it and think...'just 21, 15, and 9?...how bad can 9 be?'...Oooooh man." All I could do was laugh.

Im also really excited about my CFT. I set new PRs on all 3 exercises and went up 100lbs since my last CFT 4 1/2 months ago.

31yom180lbs

Squat-300(PR by 15lbs)
Press-150(PR by 10lbs)
Deadlift-410(PR by 20lbs)
Total-860(up from 760 on 7-4-07)

I'm happy with that.

Comment #71 - Posted by: bingo at November 29, 2007 5:53 AM

19 / F

I was kind of looking forward to running a 5K...but then I get in the weight room with an eager enthusiastic bounce (whatcha got for me today, coach?) - coach had a gut check for me today. WHEW! ':-o

4 Rounds for time:

400 m run
KB Swings x 20 (16 kilo KB)
pushups x 10 (hands on the KB handles)
situps (w/ 10 lb weight) x 20
sled pull and then push (90 lb sled.... somewhere around 30-40 yd distance)
Time: 27:43

That was INTENSE

That 5K will get pushed...maybe tomorrow night or something...we'll see.

CrossFit...nothing less than INTENSE

Did my first 5k (actually 4.75K) in 32 minutes! Not bad for a smoker who just quit two months ago.

Comment #74 - Posted by: Chris DeMarzo at November 29, 2007 6:01 AM

Zone snacks:
hard boiled egg
1/2 orange
peanuts

1 oz grilled turkey brst
1/2 c blueberries
cashews

1 1/2 oz deli turkey wrapped
with 1-2 slices of avocado
1 tangerine or 1/2 orange

I could go on...

#35 Gnat -

Our daughter has severe peanut/nut allergy as well, but we kept and still keep peanuts/nuts in our kitchen in a secure area and we've never had any "accidents". If you take precautions, it's doable. She's 14 now, but she grew up knowing the dangers of the allergy and became very pro-active at an early age - never ate anything without a visible ingredient list (unless it was the obvious like fruit, etc. of course). Just a thought.

Will do WOD later today.

Ok, I'm stoked. I'm a firefighter who has been crossfitting for about 9 months, and have whole-heartedly drank the kool-aid. I just got into the zone diet by getting my lbm and protein and eyeballing the carbs and fat. And have already gone from 195 to 185. My CFT is 690. My grip strength fails on the deadlift at 315. Anyways I just got off the scale and was excited. I'm not starving to death is the best part.

Comment #77 - Posted by: Shawn M at November 29, 2007 6:10 AM

I want to see part 2! I've been practicing from "Eva T teaches kipping", but can only kip 3-4 before I lose all momentum.

About 30 sec slower than my outdoor GPS measured 5km - so who knows....happy with my time.

***************************
On another note, I have reached a Crossfit Milestone today.
I did my first unassisted MUSCLE UP today (on a chinup bar).

So, despite my slower run, I am absolutely ecstatic!!!

Slowest 5k/3mi in 6 years and 2 min slower than a week ago. The wierd part was it felt like I was running fast. I need to check the distance because I think my GPS might be lying to me.

Running outside is harder for many reasons: wheather, tearain, surroundings, etc.. When you're running on a treadmill, it is actually helping you. The best way to simulate an outdoor run on a treadmill is to run 15-30 sec faster mile pace and increase the slope to 1 or greater. It will be something you'll need to discover on your own. For me to get the same workout on a treadmill as I do outside for a 5K, I have to increase my normal pace 30 sec and increase the slope to 2. It may and will probably be different for each runner.

I was all pumped to beat my PR 22:31 on the treadmill, Incline 1.

I started a slow warmup, and realized I was screwed. I did squats and stiff leg deadlifts yesterday. My legs felt the effects of that this morning.

Anyway, I did a 27:30 running on inclines ranging from 4 to 7. T shirt was 100% drenched by the end of it. I can do better.

Haven't posted in a while, but have still been following the workouts.
Had a disappointing total yesterday...

squat 285 (old pr 300)
press 150 (old pr 160)
dl 345 (old pr 380)

total 780
squat was ok, but i started too low on weight, but dl down 35lbs from PR. Gonna have to reevaluate my sleeping/nutrition and go on a strength cycle for a while i think. I've been hovering just shy of my goals from when i started xfit over a year ago for DL, squat and press (400/300/200 ) for so long now i don't think i have a choice. time to upgrade the engine. Of course i've probably dropped 10-15 lbs of gut since i hit the last PRs 3 or 4 months ago too. i think i'll have to put some weight back on again.

with that in mind, i'm not sure i'll run the 5k today. gotta think on this.

#78, Buretto, writes,

"I've been practicing from 'Eva T teaches kipping', but can only kip 3-4 before I lose all momentum."

In order to maintain momentum, you need to make a conscious effort to push yourself away from the bar at the top of each pull-up, just as you start to come down. Intuitively, this seems like the last thing you want to do. Once you get to the top, you're tired and just want to start heading down. The extra effort to push away hardly seems worth it, but that is where the momentum is maintained.

By pushing back away from the bar, you make your body come down behind the bar instead of directly under it. As you reach full extension, you will then swing forward, maintaining your momentum.

Think of it this way: Imagine you are watching yourself from the side. When you start, you are swinging back and forth like a pendulum (in addition to moving up and down). If you wanted to keep a pendulum going, at the top of the swing, you need to give a little push. That's what you do when you push away from the bar.

You can think of kipping pull-ups as having two parts: the traditional up and down, and the non-traditional forward and backward. You know from playing on a swing that to maintain momentum, you either need to be pushed by someone else or you need to swing your legs at the top of each swing, which is the equivalent of pushing away.

Even if this doesn't make sense, just imagine that you are going to let go of the bar at the top of the pull-up, and you want to land as far behind the bar as possible. Since you wont actually let go, you will instead swing back, and then as you continue to hold on, you will swing forward and then back up into the next pull-up.

Hope this helps. Play with it.

I haven't run 5K since I was playing pro soccer, and that was over 12 years ago, and I think I suck at running. Crossfit has helped me so much with increasing my lung capacity, O2 levels, my asthma, COPD, and every other ailment that I have for a young buck. I think that if crossfit had not come into my life, then my time here would have been short lived, having all of the surgeries and mutiple heart attacks, and cardio repitory problems. Almost all of which were self induced from doing things the wrong way for a long time.
I am grateful for crossfit.
My bride gets to see me live a longer, fuller, happier and healthier life.
My bride corssfits, so the same benefits are shared by us both.

I truely am grateful. Thank you Crossfit, and all of the crossfit community!

What I would suggest for your 4ft section of telephone pole is maybe use it like the caber toss, you know like they do in the Highland games and such. Only I would maybe incorporate a thruster motion to it. It all depends on how heavy it is. That's all I can think of for now. Maybe I'll have an epiphany later and come up with something more functional.

Again, it depends on how heavy it is. Get it across your shoulders and take it for a walk. Do some squats. Climb up a hill.

If it's too heavy for you to handle it on your own, find a friend. You can run with it on your shoulders, changing from side to side for variety. Work together to press it over your heads, squat with it, do sit-ups, etc.

Of course, safety first--be alert so no hands or feet get squashed. If you're carrying it with someone, make sure they know exactly what you plan to do with it, and that they do the same.

So my station was at the city rec. center yesterday doing our Crossfit total. As we were increasing weight on our squats a couple of guys on our crew overheard two people watching us say "they don't know what they are doing they are going to hurt themselves". We just had to laugh how many people at the gym or outside say that kind of stuff.

I am such a Crossfit snob I see people at the gym and just think they have no idea what their potential can be, and they are so brainwashed as to what a good workout is.

24:21 5K Hilly trail run.

This was about 30 seconds fast than last time and the last two times were the first two times I went under 25 min. I run about 45 seconds faster per mile on the road so I think I may actually be able to get a 21:xx on my next 5K race. Might be good enough for a top 3 finish in the Clydesdale class. :)

When I had shin splits I did some research online and most of the stuff I found said rest and NSAIDs. I am not one to rest, especially since they would kick in right at the start of the basketball season. So, I followed my own routine with worked well for me. First, I would take 2 Advil about 30 mins prior to a game. Then I would ride a stationary bike for 10 minutes before doing any running or jumping. I would then do 3 sets of 25 calf raises off a stair so my heels could go lower than the toes, just used body weight. I would then do about 5 mins of calf stretches. I would end off with some light jogging around the court before I started to really warm up and take jump shots.

Can't say this will work for everyone or is even the "correct" way to deal with shin splints. I did this routine twice and after starting it would only take a week to notice them getting better and another week or two (first time took longer since I let it get worse before doing anything) before I could stop with the Advil and stationary bike and just do some light jogging and stretching before starting to shoot around.

Good luck! Shin splints are very, very annoying, but (at least for me) pretty simple to get over if you do plenty of warming up before hand. Oh ya, one last thing, if they really start to hurt even after a warmup...stop. You may be able to work through the pain, but it is counter productive to having it heal up.

I'm planning to do CF level 1 Beginner next month, so I started to train for it today. The only one I expect to have serious problems with is Christine for work capacity.

I've only done 5 reps deadlift before, but today I did all 3 sets for 21 reps, while pre exhausted so it was more realistic. I'm definately gonna feel that tomorrow!

subbed 5k row for the 5k run. Getting too cold for the running outside. 21:40 first time rowing a 5k vice running, and I set a pace on line with my 5k run time. Can anyone out there direct me, or tell me how a row time stacks up against a run time? I will search around a bit, as I know thats the standard answer, I really was just curious of other rowers/runners opinion on this, cause I definately felt like I had more gas in the tank. Might have paced it a little too conservatively due to the first time syndrome.
Thanks.

@ JTK

I got a pretty good vest from Roguefitness.com for around $50. It has 9 x 2.5# bean-bag-like weights and 9 slots for putting the weights into. Thus, the vest allows you to add up to 22.5#. I have used it for Cindy and Murph, and it is BRUTAL!

For weighted pullups, however, I got a great dip belt delivered for under $30 from (ugh) bodybuilding.com.

This was exactly what I needed today. I've been off CrossFit for 10 days due to bad back, sinus infection, and a cough. I started feeling good yesterday. I needed this to get up for our Fitness Center's Class A Turkey Triathlon. So my warm-up was a 5k row and an 8 mile bike ride. My overall time for the Tri was the best it's been in 6 years! I've been doing CrossFit for the past 15 months.

I can squeeze this one in before tonight's packing bonanza. I haven't done a 5k in a while, so it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

I just saw that Windy City CrossFit will be opening up this Saturday. Chicago finally has a box! As soon as the move is done I'm dropping my globogym membership like a bad habit.

#10 Gnat, here are a few of my favorite nut-free zone snacks:

1 Block:
1 ounce lowfat swiss cheese (Sargento swiss is 1 ounce per slice), 16 grapes or whatever fills 1/2 cup
1 ounce lowfat swiss cheese, 4 oz. red wine
1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1 peach, 3 olives
2 slices Canadian bacon, 1/2 apple/orange/pear or 1 plum, 1/3 teaspoon olive oil
2 hard boiled egg whites, 1/4 cup black or garbonzo beans, 1/3 teaspoon olive oil
2 slices Canadian bacon, 1 sliced cucumber, 1 tablespoon guacamole

2 Blocks:
Take anything from the list above and double the portions
1 cup plain yogurt, 6 olives
1 pint whole milk, the easiest 2-blocker known to man

For more ideas, here's a link to the block chart I made from Dr. Sears' Mastering the Zone book:

it might not be exactly 5k, but its getting faster.

Started CrossFit (again) last week after a long layoff. Figured I had better start recording my times and weights... I wish Tallahassee had a CF group.

m/39/220lbs

5k: 20:50 (best time in Tallahassee)

Had a rest day yesterday, so I tested my one-rep max today after the run.

Squat: 275lbs
Shoulder: 135lbs (weak)
Dead Lift: 295lbs (amazing how a run affects these muscles)

Total: 705lbs

I should probably not do dead lifts after a hard run...

Man I really need to work on my run times. But that was the first time I tried a 5K in more than 6 years. Pathetic. Ladies and Gentlemen, You guys rock! And its an inspiration for me, to get back on the right track. I am so glad I found Crossfit and got away from all the heavy lifting I have done for years.

OH MY GOSH I did 1oo Pull-ups in less than 15 minutes and they were all kipping! The last 10 were dead hang mixed grip because I felt like I was going to rip my skin off.

OH MY GOSH I can't believe I taught myself to kip. The only thing is they don't flow. I do one then kip again .. That's the next step.

This is going to sound strange but I want to do "Fran". The pull-ups were keeping my time up.

Woo Hoo

5k- A slow :23::32

No time to warm up if I was going to do the 5k before Grappling, so just jumped right in. Started out too fast for not being loose, droped it down to a :08 mile from a :07 and then just changed the pace as I felt throughout the run.

21:30, 60 seconds slower.

Sucked it up and ran outside and, despite the cold, it was really good running weather. I rushed the warm-up and had the mindset of just get it done and surprised myself with how it went. I practiced my new running form and it felt more efficient, I just need to push harder right from the start. The cold definately slowed me down initially but I didn't try hard enough.

I don't run. I've tried it, and it doesn't agree with me. Well, it didn't used to.

I ran my first 5k today and it was a blast.

My time was aweful but I just wanted to get the thing done and I did. A girl from one of my classes asked to join me and we had enough left in the tank for a sprint of the last lap. This might mean that I could have pushed it more but for tonight I'm just happy that I'm a crossfitter and new realms of activities are now available to me. My lungs were strong and my legs didn't hurt. I'm happy. What's next?

#284 AllisonNYC,

Nice work on Angie and the kipping!

I recommend you reread #130 Hari above. Consciously pushing away from the bar at the top is definitely key to stringing multiples together.

And Hari puts it so well.

Good luck!

Hey Everyone 3/7 just got back from a successful deployment. I have missed posting, therefore I am glad to be back. I took a week off to recover and just relax and get back on a schedule. I am back in the Zone and feeling better already. These past couple of days have been a great way to get back into the WODs.

PG: Thank you! I'm pushing away big time. I think I'm just getting used to the feeling of swinging on the bar. It really does feel powerful.

Another thing that I noticed is I'm keeping my legs together instead of the strange frog kick thing I was doing. I wonder how many I can do in a row once I get more comfortable kipping.

I'm so excited. This has been a great week. I learned to kip and had PRs in my clean, dl, press and squat. Yay

Great job everybody!
53 minutes,,,15 mile bike ride outside over variable inclines. I am still adjusting and my joints felt sore so I opted to bike. Though I will say since I started running on my forefoot my joints have thanked me but my calves were screaming with DOMS for 4 days after the first time I instituted that form. To think, one concern coming into crossfit was "when will we work the calves? C'mon rope jumps and box jumps are not going to match up to the calf press." HaaHaaaHaaaa!!!! I wasn't saying that after the first workout of DU'S or even the 400's. This stuff works;)

22/m/165#/70"

5.10K in 27:32

This is over 3 minutes worse than my last 5K recorded on this site done at another location (also my PR). This is over 2 minutes worse than my last 5K at this location. I think I know what went wrong.

1) I was trying this "Energy Drink" out. I never ever use energy drinks at all, especially for training, but I am known to experiment from time to time just to see if it works. Halfway through the run I felt like my stomache was about the explode but fought on through the run. The pain got so bad that I was getting chills even after running nonstop for 20 minutes...but I kept running.

2) This was done outdoors in the coldest weather I have ever had to run this distance in. Without a doubt, this hampered my performance.

3) Winds were brutal. Half of my run was running into the wind and I noticed a significant drop off in the distance of each stride. It was disheartening and frustrating, undoubtably negatively impacting my performance.

4) Inadequate warmup (thats my fault though)

All in all, with all of the "hardships" I faced in this run, im happy with my performance. I would have liked to break my PR, but I don't think that will happen until I have an opportunity to run a trail in weather that is not so cold and much less windy. I probably got a better workout, despite the stomache pain, but my numbers won't reflect that this time around.

I can't wait to be in a position where I can join a gym and can get back to lifting heavy things!

Bwt:153
So Tuesday was rest day, but I had some thoughts to work out. So went to the gym and started running. It turned into a 5k. Time was :48::38
The next day was crossfit total. I never done this one cause I like someone to judge my from while I do it. So I did a workout that include 3 rds 400 meter run, leg press, squats, hang abs, back extension, and a 35lb Turkish getup.
To make this long story short. I don't like to run. I'm not good at it.
When I seen that it was a 5k I won't to kick myself in the rear.
Now I got to thinking about my legs and they are not hurting as much as I aspect them to. So I'd decide to give this 5k a chance.
I hit that treadmill and cut my time. :2::87 almost three minutes. I am so happy. And with a good stretch and some water I don't think I will be that sore tomorrow.(today's time :45::51)

Comment #337 - Posted by: Buela at November 29, 2007 7:58 PM

First time post.

I'll settle the speculation on the picture for good. I feel I can do this pretty effectively because its me in the picture!

I'm in the backseat of a CF-18 in Cold Lake, AB. I got a flight in the backseat while working at EX MAPLE FLAG this past summer. I've been in the Canadian Forces since 2001. I was an infanteer until March 2006 at which point I saw the light and went into the Pilot trade, my civilian passion.

I've been doing CrossFit since March 2007. I was at the cert in Toronto.

I'd rave about how amazing training this way is, but you've all heard it before.

This post will be the first of many from now on I am sure.

Ran 5k on the treadmill in 20:42. Not my best time by a long shot but probably the first time I've ever run a piece that long for time on a treadmill.

Run 5 K

Subbed row 6.25K (5/4 ratio)

Did this immediately following CF total; great combination.

Time: 26:13. About equal to my best. My average time was 2:06. My strategy was to maintain 2:05 average for the first 3K, allow 2:10 for the next 1K, 2:05 for the next 1K,allow 2;10 for the final 1K, and sprint for the last 250m. At least it occupied my mind.

Started with CFWU x 3
Then tried to start the treadmill but it was dead and the other was in use!

So, ran in the cold, hilly conditions outside, and hit the wrong button on my watch, not starting it. Also not sure it was exactly 5K either.

Best guess at the total is 30:00. I know I can do better because I used to run all the time and have a PR of 24:32 in a real race!

Playing a little bit of catchup today.

CFWU x 3 + burgener warmup

Started off with some OHS work. I've never done "heavy" OHS (always just 45# barbell during warmups). Ended up doing 5-5-5-3-3-3 at 45-55-65-70-75-80

Still a little bit wobbly at 80#, but considering how hard 45# was about 2 months ago, I consider this an incredible improvement.

WOD on Treadmill (3.1 miles)

29:40

Alternated the first 4 laps 6mph/7mph then mostly 6mph with maybe 2 7mph laps thrown in to the mix. Really just wanted to get sub 30:00. With my screwed up right knee, I'm pretty happy. Calves are spent... still not ready for the 10k, but nice to see my 5k is getting better ... not a ton faster, but a lot easier (ty Zone diet).

I tried getting my strike to match the recent videos, but it's hard to tell if I was doing it right. More running vids please! :)

3.1 miles on the treadmill: 20:33.

This was my fourth 5K since starting CrossFit. I've improved my time on each one. This time, however, I really noticed a big change in my breathing. I guess the CrossFit program is trainig my body to deliver oxygen more efficiently or faster. Whatever it's doing, it works. Crossfitting at Gold'd Gym Rosslyn, Va.

My girlfriend and I have been doing crossfit for two months. I was sold from day one, but the 5K has sealed the deal. 21:03 is not only a personal best by nearly 2 minutes, but it was done at 24 degrees with a decent headwind and a complete stop at 2 miles to fight off pukie. Thanks to everyone in the CF community for their insight, advice and inspiration.

Was running back and forth in house so to avoid going crazy mixed it up a little bit.

run 300M, 20 double unders, as many rounds in 20min.

8rds + 100M

Could have picked up the intensity on the runs a bit I think.

Me and the boy ran this around the neighborhood (he had on a 20lb vest, the stud). While running has been an integral part of his adult life, it is my nemesis. I wanted to work on anything else than this, 1000 burpees for time, 5 billion squats, Tabata the Tabata Something Else, anything but running, but he was right in saying that we had to do this; avoidance doesn't encourage growth, does it? And as much as I would have liked to have stopped and called it quits (oh, my shins!), a dozen times over, I kept going. We had the timer ticking back at home. 33 minutes.

I have not been doing any running training other than when prescribed by the WODs, I did this 5K right after the pull-up ladder, and I changed my running style...still a new PR by almost a minute!

I was sold on crossfit the first day I found the site, but improving a 5K after running only a couple times in 2 months just seems ridiculous.

As for changing the running style, I have been trying not to heel strike, and it did wind me quickly, as you can see I slowed down in the last 2 miles, but I hope after more conditioning it will help me eventually break the 19 minute mark.

I did it, but my timer stopped around the 4k mark! Oh well, time or not, I still ran fast enough to feel wobbly at the end.

Ran canal loop on 12/02

5k 29:57 - goal was to break 30 min for my first timed 5k (happy for now...)

Was way out of the Zone (with too much all you can eat soup and salad at the Olive Garden for lunch) and it showed. I learned my lesoon and will eat better before the next run!

5km run - 28:10 on a treadmill. Hit a wall around the 2.5km mark. Running long distances is the worst...I'd much rather shovel snow...which I did for half hour in the morning and half hour when I came home. Now that's functional fitness!

22:22 on Bayshore at night
Thought I was doing 5K but used Gmaps Pedometer after and found the run to be 4.75km. It felt a little short. Doing linear math, that would equal a 23:31 5K. Do not do much running, but previous strong time was 24:02.
