Wednesday, 31 August 2011: Smart Training

Your body can only take so much. Be smart about your training. I know that it's a CrossFit mantra to say, "Suck it up, Buttercup." But there are times when you have to go, "Okay, that's enough for today." Otherwise you may risk long term injury. We don't want that to happen now do we?

Not every WOD needs to be tackled with reckless abandon. Otherwise your training serves no purpose. You're just going through the motions. Have goals for your training. Whether it's to prepare for a marathon or 5K or increasing strength, have a goal. With that in mind, know when to walk away from the bar. You're not quitting, you're training for a specific goal. If you target your efforts, your training will be that much more fulfilling.
