1 Mile Run
Post time to comments.
compare to 3.18.09
Accessory Work
Choose your weakest Fight Gone Bad movement and do some focus training on it. Here are some options:
Technique Phase: Practice the movement in a fatigue free environment. Make every rep perfect.
Consistency Phase: See if you can do 15-25 reps while maintaining consistent technique. If form breaks down, take a break.
Intensity Phase: Perform 3-5 one minute pressure tests for max reps. Either rest as needed between attempts or set a rest interval.

Good luck to Jess Fox who is running the Queens Half Marathon today!
I’ve never been so happy to see a 1 mile run. My torn up hands thank ye.
I thought we were gonna do cleans or something with the bar.
I have the flu, so I did “Angie’s baby brother” at home:
50 pushups75 situps100 squats
14:00 flat
i just posted this on yesterdays blog but am re-posting here cause i have a question:
do you think pull ups on the rings are harder or easier than on the bar? i think they are easier but that the cycle time is much longer but gerrit insists they are harder.
anyway we did angie yesterday also but with pull ups on the rings

Re: Ring pull-ups
Nicole,
You could both be right… Rings are harder to work from due to the zero friction environment. They want to move, whereas a bar stays fixed.
What could make PUs on the rings FEEL easier is the more natural position that your shoulder is allowed to pull from. This is due to the neutral hand grip (palms facing each other) most people take, which works it’s way up to your shoulder (resulting in more of a shoulder extension than shoulder adduction, the big ‘ol lats are happier to pull along extension). The movement at the elbow changes a bit also, but is not as big of a factor.
Next time you’re at SBK try a few ring PUs with your palms facing AWAY from you (like you’d be on a bar), and try a few INSIDE the pull up station (facing the power racks), where your hands can face each other.
Let me know what you find.
Chris is the half marathon done already?
Really happy about today. I woke up with torn up hands and was sore all over. Yet I was able to pretty easily run a sub 7 minute mile.
6:49
There was only 1 other time in my life where I ran a sub 7 mile and that day was such an anomaly I feel like the clock ran slow.
Anyhow, at 30 years old, CFSBK has me in the best shape of my life, put that in your pamphlet.
7:58 mile, in spite of missing the turn on to Carroll.
Kipping practice beforehand, Push/Press, Sumo Dead Lift High Pull, and more kipping practice afterwards
7:04
Not a PR, but not crappy either. Should have pushed harder. Used my late night of carousing as an excuse, which was bad. It was over very quickly, I really could have pushed much harder. 6:30 still seems like a reasonable goal.
7:12. Should have pushed harder; I just didn’t have a clear idea of how far Bond Street was. From there on, it was pretty bearable. Good being out in the open yesterday.
Later did some FGB practice with Ryan, Bjorn, David McG and Paul. Thanks for all the help guys.
I really want to do this time-trial some day soon…but obviously not after today’s Half Marathon.
I finished in 2:04:30 which is a PR for me by about 7 minutes! (9:30 avg. mile pace)
Here’s the kicker, I didn’t even “train” (via running) for this race. I probably ran about 2 times per week, if I was lucky, never longer than 5 miles. So what do I give this credit to you ask??? A georgous early fall day helped, but I think it has to do with my training at SBK! Also, I’m sure the week of paleo (no booze) has helped as well. Full disclosure though, I had some pre-race pasta last night, a piece of toast with my eggs pre-race, and chowed down on half a bagel post-race!
Thanks for the support SBK! I’m super satisfied with that race. Now on to enjoy the rest of this gorgeous day!
Jess, congratulations on the half! Very good timing. Enjoy the rest of the day, treat yourself!
Congrats Jess! Really impressive!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that nothing good ever comes from drinking tequila. 7:42…very disappointed as I should have done much better. Looking forward to doing this again under better circumstances.
6:20, pretty happy with this as it’s my first time doing mile for time. could have gone a bit harder at the beginning.
Good work jess! I am fairly certain you need to carb load before running the marathon. The only issue is high-volume training and carb loading during your training. That’s the thing that should be avoided.
6:31. I haven’t run 1 mile straight bananas for time since high school. It’s an odd distance for me (I typically train at 5k-10k). But happy to be under 7.
Tamar and I will be in the sticks of VA next weekend so GOOD LUCK to all the FGB-ers.
WOD2k row – 6:59. PR by a lot. last time i did a 2k, in june, was 7:40.went out too hard on first 500m, second and third 500m where quite slow, room for improvement.
acc wkfoam roll.
mile run: 8:16
I wasted some time at a stop light – there was actually traffic through the entire light! Gah. Oh well. I did better pacing myself this time and remembered something of the gleefulness of running when I was ~8yrs old. Hopefully I can access more of that and get faster.
Didn’t do any accessory work – got food and then helped out with crossfit kids and the after party, which is pretty much a workout on it’s own.

Once upon a time it was under 7 (but I do mean *once*). Not unhappy, but not fully satisfied, either.
Calling FGB Belated team… Do we have an official team yet and who are the members? Let’s get on this bad boy.

I couldn’t make it down to the gym for today’s run, however I ran a few full court basketball games down at my local park. It felt good to drain some 3’s and throw some elbows.
Dharma had a great time today at Crossfit Kids!
Love all the mile times in the 6’s, way to go everyone! I’d like to make this up, maybe tomorrow. I’m a tortoise, likely somewhere around an 8m/m. Anyone down?
Steph W- Not true about tequila. Jess and myself are proof. Our marriage is built on an early foundation involving plenty of tequila.
1 Mile Run: 6:47
Fun time at CF Kids! Great to see everyone and be back in action.
Did this in Prospect Park on 9/22.1st mile: 6:37 but there is downhill assistance between the mile markets between 1 and 2. Maybe add 20 seconds.Walked a quarter mile, then:2nd mile: 6:40ish. This section is much flatter, however the course is only marked for a 5K; I started at 2.25 mark and finished after the 5k mark. Splits were pretty consistent at 1:40.Would like to run this on a true course with a group of others to push me. I think I can get this much closer to 6.
