Mediocre Runners

And the Gods of Crossfit will probably curse me for it.

But I have an explanation. It was getting very hard to commit to the schedule at my local box.  I was finding it harder and harder to show up in Clarendon for a pre-scheduled WOD. I also never really clicked with the crowd there, especially the dudes in brown flip-flops “teaching” POSE running techniques.  I will maybe try to fit in a few more WODs over there before the end of the month. I am also going to a what I hope is a real POSE seminar at the box this weekend.

So why the globo-gym? The fact that it is across the street really helps.  Also, their training philosophy is pretty sound to my mediocre mind.  The foundation of their regimen is good nutrition, followed by an emphasis on general cardio, then strength training.  This is topped off by stretching and recovery techniques. I doubt I will ever do personal training with them. Their general philosophy is something I can agree with.

My goal with the globo-gym is to try CF-style workouts in a mainstream gym setting. I may also take a few yoga classes here and there to improve my flexibility.  I’m scheduled for a fitness “assessment” with a trainer on Saturday. I’ll let all you MR fanatics know what that is like.
