The best encouragement I can give you when it comes to Crossfit is to encourage you to avoid getting involved with it.
I know some marathon and half marathon runners that tried Crossfit for a while, but they decided that the extreme Crossfit workouts were too hard on their bodies, and left them too sore to train for their races. Crossfit also has a very high rate of injuries, and as a runner, I cannot recommend it.
Before you make a decision about the program, you might want to check out this article from the NY Times -- "Getting Fit, Even If It Kills You."

"It can kill you," he said. "I've always been completely honest about that."0
