Testing vs. Training in CrossFit
Marathon runners don’t run a daily marathon in preparation for their race. Football teams don’t play a game at practice to prepare for their next opponent.
The same principle should apply to the way athletes are trained in the walls of a CrossFit affiliate. Beating people over the head with endless metcons without planning intentional development of technique, strength and skill is a slippery slope towards injury, burnout and/or boredom.
One of the first steps in combating this is to understand the difference between testing and training.
