What can we learn from the amazing Sara Sigmundsdottir?

                     

Congratulations, you made it!

The 2018 CrossFit Open is over.

Now it's time to stop being an athlete and start being a fan!

What can we learn from these amazing athletes?

Sara Sigmundsdottir describes her journey to the games.

How bad do you want it?

If you wouldn't give up in competition, why would you give up in  training?

She describes combating food poisoning both her rib fracture and knee injury.

The cause was over-training and not recovering enough.

In CrossFit you are taught to go through the pain, however, you need to differentiate between pain from training that goes quickly and pain that creeps up on you that does not go away.

What about YOU?

Are you training or are you draining?

Below are 7 questions you need to ask yourself about over-training:

1.     Are you getting odd pains and aches all over your body?

2.     Are you feeling tired or de-motivated?

3.     Are you having trouble sleeping?

4.     Have you lost your appetite?

5.      Have you lost your sex drive?

6.     Does your workout feel harder than normal?

7.     When was the last time you got a personal best?

Now that the Open is over, take some time out to let your body recover.

Have a couple of weeks of de-loading and then watch as you feel more motivated and you get a PB for the first time in ages.
