Champlain Valley CrossFit – Competition: Friday, September 16th, 2016

Pre Class: 1) Run: A) 3000m – Rest 10 minutes B) 6 x 200m (you choose the rest) 3000m is at 110-115% of your Goal mile pace…if your goal mile is 6:00 (360 seconds) then this is run at a 6:36 mile pace. 200m’s are at a hard pace, rest should be dictated by what kind of pace you push. 200m’s should be at at least your goal mile pace. Something to keep in mind as well, your goal mile pace should be reasonable. If you run a 7:00 mile, a 6:00 goal isn’t reasonable, at least not in the short term, that’s like wanting to PR your Back Squat by 50lbs. Have a reasonable pace in mind.

Active Recovery: The goal should be as much as possible of the following below. Thanks to CrossFit Invictus for posting this. A. Aerobic Restoration 25-40 minutes of one of the following performed at 60-70% effort – easy, restorative pace: * Swim (this is my first choice, and if you have an ocean, even better) * Row (focus on mechanics, smooth and efficient with a very low stroke per minute pace) * AirDyne (keep the pace conversational and relaxed) * Cycling (get outdoors and enjoy the scenery as you ride) * Hike (nothing crazy here, find a nice easy slope and go for a walk outdoors) NOTE ABOUT ACTIVE RECOVERY – The activity selected must be restorative for you. It can also be an opportunity to work on a skill (like swimming or rowing), but the effort expended should leave you feeling energized at the…
