Notes: Some good and some bad today. The good part was that I saw some tangible improvement as compared to when I did this workout on July 16th. I rowed at the same or faster clip today, yet my heart rate didn't go nearly as high. Particularly during the first 10-minute segment. My heart rate just wouldn't budge. I definitely think I'm improving capacity at the lower ranges. The bad part was that I really struggled again with low blood sugar during the final 10-minute segment. Toward the end of these aerobic pieces I can feel this feeling of weakness start to come over me. I can keep hammering away, but I start to feel ravenous. All I can think about is eating/drinking some sugar as soon as I get off the machine. When I get off, my hands are shaking and I bee-line it for the refrigerator. Today, I was out of coconut water, so I chugged a huge thing of milk with some hot cocoa powder in it. It was crazy! Anyways, I'm not really sure what is causing this feeling because I haven't experienced it since starting CrossFit and have done workouts far "harder" than this one and not experienced anything close to the same feeling.
A freight train is strong, powerful, and steady across long distances. A freight train only goes "off the tracks" if it gets going at a pace faster than it can sustain. Bobby Scott Performance believes that a large volume of sub-maximal efforts paired with intelligently programmed bouts of intensity will develop a strong, powerful competitor with a huge aerobic base -- in other words, "an aerobic freight train."
