A few weeks ago I stopped using the Crossfit mainsite wods and went back to doing my own wods with a heavy strength based approach. Basically I went back to a ME/DE approach and rotated my ME dl and squat, and DE squat/BP workouts every other week. I have been feeling stronger (a natural byproduct) and the load increases have reflected that, but what is surprising is that in the last week I have broken my 5K time and yesterday ran an easy 800m (equalled a previous pr) then went on to do Fran and broke that pr by 50 seconds, then finished with a slower (about 70%) of my starting 800m time. Interesting. I will continue with this system for a few more weeks and try some more benchmark workouts and see what the numbers do.
