This is the time of year when many lose critical fitness gained during the past season.  Body weight goes up, and functional power goes down.  Many believe that long hours of LSD is the key to success for next season.  If you live in your parents basement, and are still in your lower 20′s this might be so.  If your like the rest of us, time comes at a high cost and long hours in the saddle is not really an option.

Your results next ‘cross season will come from the cumulative effect of the training you do from now until next October.  One workout, or a “good” weekend of training will not cut it. We are biological creatures, and we adapt as such.   Your body wants to be a tub of goo, you have to force it to not be.

To help you get started, I post daily WODs to the HEF site (Progression is key).  I also have links on “Nutrition” , “The Juice” and others to give you an idea of what it will take to continually get stronger, week after week.  Also, all Crossniacs are invited to ask a “question of the week ” and mail it to the HEF site.  I will post answers to many of these questions weekly.

Train hard, rest harder.
