Friday, April 15 'Lynne'

As prescribed, 'Lynne' is a monster. Although not timed, we still get serious gas as if we've just finished a met-con session. Max efforts become quite uncomfortable.

Anytime multiple max efforts occur, there is serious gas involved. Lynne is the epitome of failure, and this makes many people uncomfortable. Max efforts evoke a primal response in us, and our internal "common sense" voice wonders what the hell is going on? Even while spotted, some people are reluctant to really get that last little bit because these uncomfortable feelings are new and strange, and they need to stop.

No worries. As we continue to get these sessions, we will be better able to push these thoughts out of the picture and focus more clearly on the task at hand. This is consistency in training, and why it's so valuable. Each time we roll, knowingly or not, we learn to deal with or compartmentalize these thoughts and feelings.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF. Saturday is a rest day, not an off day.

If your workouts don't scare you, you're not training hard enough.
