  1. rob - just a suggestion - do you try to jump singles first to get the timing of the rope? I think it helps. then you can mix in a double under with the singles as you can until you can just chain the double unders. My other suggestions would be to try some tuck jumps too.
  2. i only yell at people when im on my bike and usually it because they are yelling at me first!
  3. Glad you like the warmup. Didn't realize you never swung Kbs around before. They are great stuff! Every day can't be a weight PR day! Enjoy your run today!
  4. so good to meet another vegan atheist! What I do is i steam broccoli and then I dip it in hummus while I am eating it. Then I just love peanut butter so I eat it out of the jar. Gross I know. But True. Most of the time you see peanut butter listed in my meals I am just eating it out of the jar.
  5. ha! hardly! but thanks! Took an unplanned rest day yesterday. Why? I felt I needed it. Just was overly tired and sore. It was my first day off in 2 months. meal 1 - vega wfo w/coconut water meal 2 - soysage, taters, mushrooms, onions meal 3 - lentils & brown rice meal 4 - clif builder bar meal 5 - hummus, steamed broccoli, peanut butter Swim - 400 drill - 100s of switch, catch, shark & hesitate, 4 x 300 (100 as race start, settle into race pace for last 200) on 45 seconds rest. #1 - 5.02, #2 - 5.10, #3 - 5.15, 8 x 25 sprints on 30 second rest - 6 at 18 seconds last two - 19 seconds. 200 cooldown with fins, 100 side kicking switching every 25, 100 streamlined kicking, 100 breaststroke Run - 3.95 miles. - still slow! CF wod - Was supposed to be 40 Turkish Getups. I did them for 30 minutes straight i don't know how many reps it was. used a 18lb KB to start and about halfway upgraded to a 26 lb Kettlebell. It's been awhile since i've done these. I should do them more often then are good for my surgical shoulder. meal 1 - vega wfo w/coconut water meal 2 - vega wfo, soy yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, ground flax, mac nuts meal 3 - tempeh, carrots, potatoes, yellow beans, tomatoes meal 4 - clif builder bar
  6. no it is 70.3. I am not signing up for a full until my foot in completely recovered and not an issue. I don't want to push it too much too soon. Thinking about lake Placid in 2012. Going up to Placid to train on the race this summer.
  7. i buy them by the box also. sometimes ill go with the other flavors which are also good for a change but CM is the best!
  8. Yes I am racing Ironman Pocono Mountain. It is in my backyard! It is on October 2nd. But I wanted to get a stand alone half-mary race in before eagleman in june so the timing and the location for this relay marathon worked out well. Should be fun times.
  9. Thanks! Bike - had my class this morning. Got damon hooked up with his new garmin sensor. sadly I couldn't get it to work during the class because it was picking up other sensors but after the class I got it to work so I will have data again for me rides. Yippee. Gonna keep me honest. main sets of the class today were an 8 minute TT at 100 percent effort. a 10 minute hill climb hard gear low cadence grind. and a 5 minute high cadence spin .There was other riding involved too not sure how much before of the sensor issue. legs are always cooked after this class. Run - 3.5 miles. Still slow going! I need someone to run behind me with a taser or something. had to immediately get to the pool to get my swim wod in. Foot was a little sore afterwards. Oddly my left leg bothers me more than my right foot. Swim - 300 drills to warmup, catch, shark and hesitate. My lats and shoulder were killing me for the entire time in the pool. Strangely they were not hurting at all until I started swimming. I think it is was from the cf wods yesterday. 500 pull, 5 x 100s at race pace on 20 seconds rest. Swam these at 1:40. Not sure if that was my race pace or not but I wasn't feeling speedy in the pool tday. finished off with 500 easy. meal 1 - clif builder bar meal 2 - tempeh, spinach, red peppers meal 3 - vega wfo w/coconut water meal 4 - 2 mexican pizza (black beans, tomatoes, cabbage), peanut butter im register to race the "run for the red" marathon as part of a relay team. This is the course that Ironman Pocono mountain is using so I wanted to get out on the course before IMPM and check it out. This will be a half-mary a few weeks before eagleman. Really hope my running gets better and fast!
  10. I've done this workout a few times and honestly it is great one. I recommend going for it. Just don't go to heavy to start out and it gets pretty tough by the end. good luck!
  11. I think you should try it as see how it goes for you. Obviously my experience is with myself and others doing both cf and cfe but I don't think it would hurt to try it out. Strength movements are pretty universal. I am not sure what stronglifts protocols are. Basically I recommend you be pushing as much weight as you can for your lifts. (which i already think you are from what i see in the log) why i am saying this is i don't know if they do deloading portions or not in their programming. Feel free to tell me more about stronglifts and i would be will to work out a running schedule/workouts for you around it. it would be fun.
  12. Personally I think it is great program. I use it so if you go through my log you will see what kind of training I am doing (although it has been modified a bit post surgery) I do triathlons as well as races in running, biking and swimming and yet I consider myself reasonably strong. Im deadlifting 230 and have decent weights numbers in other areas as well. everything you need to know about crossfit is on their website so www.crossfit.com and www.crossfitendurance.com. look under the FAQ and start here sections. Then ask me any questions you may have. They post a workout everyday on both sites. Most likely in the beginning you will have to scale the workout to your ability level. There are books out there about olympic lifting etc by people who do crssfit but they are not specific to crossfit.
  13. CFE doesn't do tradional periodic training where you gradually increase your mileage. So in that sense there is no long slow distance. Your not going to go out and run 23 miles a few weeks before your marathon like most training has you do. However it isn't all anaerobic sprints either. It is a mix of crossfit (both strength and metabolic conditioning wods - like you normally see in my training log) as well as running 3 - 4 times a week of sprints, time trials (for both distance and time), tempo runs, hill repeats. Your never going to go under 85% effort.
  14. you can do crossfit anywhere so yes you can do it at your own gym. It is just a little harder there than at a cf gym but many people do it that way.
  15. bike - 13 minutes warmup, 30 minutes of 40 seconds on 20 seconds off 7 minute cooldown cd wod - "daniel" 50 pullups run 400 meters 21 - 65 lb thrusters run 800 meters 21 - 65 lb thrusters run 400 meters 50 pullups time 20:49 Had to really sub for this wod too. All of the running I did on the rower. I also did the pullups on the rings because my hand is still torn up and bleeding. I couldn't get through 100 kipping pullups without trauma. Those were tougher than I expected. Did the thrusters as two seperate movements. 21 front squats @ 65 lbs. then when I was done with those i did 21 shoulder presses with 45lbs. I was push pressing the weight a bit because it was tough. meal 1 - tempeh bacon meal 2 - vega wfo w.coconut water meal 3 - clif builder bar meal 4 - tofu, yellow pepper, onion, arugula, daiya
  16. Totally possible. I use crossfit endurance and i am trainer. I'll help you out if your interested and have questions.. Your going to have to keep most of your run training anaerobic. http://www.crossfitendurance.com Best wishes.
  17. swim - 500 drills - switch, catch, drag, shark and hesitate 400 pull - 7.14 2 x 200 pull with paddles 3.54 - 3.55 2 x 400 on 20 sec rest - 6.59 - 7.00 - kinda funny this wasn't a time trial but this is an improvement over my last 400 which was 7.17 100 cooldown with fins run - 3.25 miles - time 32.18 - i forgot my gps watch so i used mapmyrun and came up with a loop near my office. next time will be 3.5 which is what i was supposed to run today. CF - 60 kettlebell clean & presses with 26lbs. time 4:40. 30R/30L - I did a few warmups with 35 but I didn't think I was going to make it through all those presses with that. meal 1 - vega wfo w/coconut water meal 2 - soy yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, ground flax, vega wfo meal 3 - 2 clif builder bars ( i was starving!) meal 4 - tofu, spinach, guacamole, banana
  18. ha! why should you know my race schedule silly! my first HIM is Eagleman on June 12. Im going to do some smaller tris and dus before that to warm up for it as possible.
