What It’s Really Like to Train for a CrossFit Competition

Big Thanks Posted From https://fitbottomedgirls.com/2018/07/what-its-really-like-to-train-for-a-crossfit-competition/

So I did a thing … well, two things actually. Let me back up a bit first. At the end of last year, I felt myself wanting a change. I mean, I really love running but I was feeling less and less inspired by it. Training for marathons had become a grind — one that I wasn’t enjoying the way I used to. It was time to change things up. So I stepped back from running for awhile and tried something completely different and way out of my comfort zone — CrossFit competitions.

While the eight-hour workday came out of a humanitarian labor movement and uplifted the Industrial Revolution, it has been left largely unchanged for more than a century. Perhaps we can create a more efficient, positive work environment if we consider factors that fall outside of the rigid eight-hour workday, like our circadian rhythm, location, and investment of time.
