Running, double unders, and burpees for 8/17/2015

By August 16, 20152 Comments

Last Tuesday, we did a WOD very similar to this today’s.  The idea here is to test a similar cardiovascular capacity.  Do you handle two shorter runs better than one long run?  Both WODs involve a very skillful movement:  Pistols last week, double unders this week.  Do shorter sets of burpees tax your body more than one larger set where you can fall into a rhythm and keep moving?  Changing the smallest element during a workout can completely change your body’s response.  In CrossFit, we train so that we can adapt equally to any change in stimulus.
