Hey all,
After a year out I'm back in the game. Ironman Austria is the target for July 1st next year. Problem is I am very overweight. Hit 106kgs from a race weight of 82 last summer. So, I've cut the crap and that number is coming down already.
Question is, has anyone used crossfit alongside ironman training? Has it impacted on your ability to push out good swim/bike/run sessions? I'd be looking to do three classes a week. At present I'm not too bothered about doing triathlon specific sessions as with 14 ironmans in my legs it will come back next spring when I start pushing. I don't however want to end up not able to do any swim/bike/run.
Any experiences?
