Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

I missed it last night but may try it today if the gym is open. As much as I like that workout, it may be a little too in my optimal range. Basically, it's stuff and modalities I like except the 10 rounds.

This was my first experience with CFFB. I think the 10 rounds would have been great, but I didn't want to push it with the tempermental hamstring. The nice thing about these workouts is that they are (as Rx'd) still way above me, so scaling them provides just what I need (especially now with my lack of motivation.

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Why do you use so much LSD in the WU?

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

[QUOTE=Blair Robert Lowe;619164]Why do you use so much LSD in the WU?[/QUOTE]
Blair,

The LSD is to work at really warming up and getting good blood supply to my hamstrings and stretch out the Achilles tendons. I was fine until I started running again recently. It felt so good just to be able to do 400m without pain and/or having to stop. I started doing intervals and ended up running at speeds I've never atttempted before. This worked for a couple of times, but I pulled my L/hamstring the last time out....

Long-winded explanation, but it gives the full background.

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Interesting. I, myself sometimes like a longer warmup than other people but mainly to get myself loose and lively.

Do you find that it mucks up with your WOD performance? I found this a bit last year as I tended to bike about 6-7 miles slightly uphill to the gym to workout. I did this as well last saturday which was 5+ in a headwind.

It looks like I see 30m of LSD before some of your workouts and was just curious.
