I know this seems counterintuitive, especially for someone who hasn’t ran let alone ran as fast as possible in quite some time (per doctor’s orders, post-surgery, FYI for those of you who don’t know). Just be patient with what you’re about to read ~ there’s a method to the madness. This discussion is going to…

They have all endured countless orthopedic surgeries and they…
For as long as I can remember, one criticism of CrossFit has been, “there’s not enough cardio,” or “if I do CrossFit, I’ll still have to add in some cardio,” and I’ve never quite understood the thought process behind those statements. I’ve just chalked it up to the people who say it have never done…
I find our nature as human beings to be very interesting and I say that because we’ll usually look for whatever shortcut we can, only to skip right past doing the thing that actually works but maybe requires more time or effort.
