Evidence based fitness


Part of what of we do and the way we train is to measure our fitness against time, repeating identical workouts and assessing improved performace by the time elapsed. This is impiracle evidence, and helps us to chart results and improvements.

I've been training D since late September-covering all aspects of Crossfit training, today we repeated a workout first encountered in December.

The Workout

run 400m

21 kettlebell swings with an 8kg

12 pressups

repeated 3 times.

The workout is very similar to "Helen" but switching pressups for pullups. The first time this was attempted D covered this in 15.09 mins-running the 400m is the most challenging part for D, but today the same workout was performed in 11.24 mins!

15.09

11.24 -

=3.45

So we can see that D cut 3 mins and 45 secs off her previous time-which is fantastic work-keep it up-well done
