    Help me out… Im thinking doing running WOD tomorrow. What is a tempo run? and where does the lass usually meet?

    • joncoffey

      Tempo run = longer, steady state run

      Meet at the 28th Street box

    • Albert Insogna

      This morning it was 5 continuous sets of 2min faster pace + 1min slower pace. So 15min total. Faster/slower was relative to a 10k pace.

  • Andrew

    I thought the WODs were supposed to get hard again this week. Out side of barbara that hasnt been the case. What gives?

    • Mike

      Recap,
      Monday–1RM Back Squat + [Metcon]
      Tuesday–RGWU + Deadlift and HSPU’s (Total for the WOD was Deadlift = 275*30 if you did it RX’d on your own, HSPU = 30 reps)
      Wednesday–Press + 100 Wallballs
      If you found to combination of those 3 days ‘easy’ and your hamstring, glutes, quads and lower back were not fatigued than either you didn’t do the WOD’s or you did something wrong….

      • NickA

        Agree. If you think they are too easy, you are doing exactly just that: taking it too easy. Try using better technique, more weight, higher intensity during all workouts and you will be fatigued.

        • Jim S

          After Barbara yesterday I slept 9 hours last night, rolled out of bed feeling like I was worked over with a meat tenderizing hammer and needing that first cup of coffee like it was my very blood supply. I agree, it has been a super easy week. :)

  • NickA

    6:15am Beg. Wod
    Full 5 rounds of Barbara: 46:40
    I almost lost it once it was over – wow that was one hell of a workout.
    Looking forward to the long weekend to recover.
    The Ass-Berry Fairy has certainly left her mark!

    First time Barbara: 43:12 RX’d
    First time doing pull-ups with the base-of-fingers grip. No new rips but very little grip strength. Need to work on that.

    Just one note on music — There are two types of people in the world: those who like Taylor Swift, and liars.

  • John Fitz

    First time Barbara this morning with Ryan. Horrendous. Why in the name if God i ate Boneless Wings last night, ill never know. 38:30 doing the “Scaled” version. I know i would have done it quicker if i threw up during 4th Rep. Great job everyone.

    • JB

      Is this John Fitz from CRG?

  • JayB

    6:15am Beginner WOD

    1st time Barbara @ 42:36 — Really don’t have a clue how I got that mysterious shoulder knotting pain while doing air squats. In other news, definitely looking forward to some more of that Taylor Swift playlist we had going on.

  • Jim S

    A: 5x2x65 + 5x2x75 Kevin rocks the Oly form instruction. Made some good cue progress today.
    B: 12/5 10/4 8/4 9/4 Let’s call those C2B pull-ups “strict’ish”

    5:15pm Beginner WOD

    First post-Elements class! Therefore first time Barbara: 32:56. Scaled all reps down by 10, blue band for pull ups. Now I now understand the lovely Ass Berry Fairy…wow. Thanks for the encouragement from Mandy, Maria and Mike!

  • Albert Insogna

    Talk about getting thrown into the fire- good news is that the next few WODs you run into should be much gentler in comparison.
