Metabolic Pathways, Part 2

Yesterday we described the three metabolic pathways trained with CrossFit and left you with the statement that training of and proficiency in ALL THREE metabolic pathways is vital for every athlete.

You potential to perform well at short fast (glycolytic) efforts is affected by your capacity in longer (oxidative) efforts.  In short, skipping out on all the running WODs will hurt your abilities in shorter efforts such as Fran, Helen, or Tabata Something Else.
