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.
