Just one more post to close out the day.
Today's workout was directed more toward volume than intensity, yet it fits the definition of CrossFit's approach for varied, high intensity functional movement. Today the intensity was scaled back to permit more volume, yet I'm confident that nobody would label the workout as medium or low intensity. Acid test is this: did you experience physical and psychological discomfort? A "yes" answer indicates that you encountered intensity.
From time to time, we'll be programming in higher volume days with a single exercise - just one more mode of training to expand the scope of the group's health and fitness. Think back over the workout - what was the rate limiting factor for your workout? Was it strength, endurance, cardiopulmonary work, power output, mental toughness - or all of the above? Wherever you met the temptation to quit and kept on going - the thing that limited more output was developed to perform better in this kind of stress. Good on you for motoring on.
All that to say this: thanks for plowing through a tough workout today and other days, and for staying with the program. We've got a great little cohort going.
