Workout of the Day Unsupervised, but suggested: get together with a group of buddies and give this a go. For Time: Run 400m 30x Deadlifts @80/50kg Run 800m 20x Deadlifts @100/65kg Run 1200m 10x Deadlifts @120/80kg A marathon runner can have extraordinary capacity in the domain of cardio vascular enduarance, a powerlifter can have extraordinary capacity in the domain of strength. However, the specific training that they require to deliver this capacity compartmentalises these domains from one another and precludes development outside of their chosen specialisms. When asked to perform a combination of the two domains listed in the WOD above the specialist athlete will lose capacity in both. CrossFit prepares the would be athlete for any physical task without significantly compromising capacity in any single domain. #wearecfg
