I am sure the switch back to crossfit will be just what you need to spice up your workouts.

Thanks, Gregg. I really have been doing a lot of NROL stuff, and I think that's one of the reasons I'm burned out on HT-1. I'm also tired and stressed out a lot these days, so I need something to motivate me.

My calves hurt some towards the end of Hyp 1 and at the start of Hyp 2. My wife got me a foam roller for my Birthday and now they are feeling great.
I notice in your log that you can squat a ton, great job. Do you think that the added muscle gains make you slower running or stronger? I just finished my first Half and I felt like all they Hyp workouts have made me legs stronger and actually faster. I was also doing at least to two speed workouts a week on the 1/2 training. Either a interval,tempo or pace run. So that I am sure helped. But I really think the NROL leg workouts made me strong and more efficient runner.

Hey tcoy, those foam rollers do work some wonders!
I'm really not sure about muscle gains and running. Although I have run off and on since I was 12 years old, I was into the weight training for awhile before I got serious about running again a few years ago. I definitely think it helps with injury prevention. I do a lot of hill running, and I suspect the weight training helps me power up the hills. At any rate, I can't imagine not doing both!
