    I try to run to 5ks a week on top 3-4 days of CrossFit.

    This week I've been having a hard time getting out of bed, so it looks like 2 days of Crossfit and 2 days of running.

    I play basketball, heavy lifting on Saturdays, battle rope training on my "rest days"...usually Wednesday, and I play a lot of Frisbee with my sons.

    Run 1-2 times a week, sometimes add some elliptical after the WOD sometimes if I feel it wasn't intense enough.

    I'm a (currently sidelined with a stress fracture from overtraining) runner. I've been focusing on longer distances this year (10 milers and half marathons) but I have plans to scale back considerably once I've recovered from my injury. Hope to get in a few miles 2-3 times each week once I'm cleared to run again.

    Running and walking. I think Crossfit has helped the running - it would kill me if I wasn't already dead from CF! :tongue:

    Running. I always keep a half-marathon on the horizon to keep me motivated lol.
    I also ride/train horses.
    CF has been HUGELY beneficial to both my riding and running endeavors!

    I feel like my biggest gains from CF have been in my trunk and core, and that this has translated into increasing my 1RM across the board, often by significant amounts.

    I just signed up for the nike women's half marathon in DC. I don't find out until Dec 6th if we got in (it's a lottery), but I've started a 24 week training plan this week just in case. So, I run 3 days a week, crossfit three days a week, and one day a week I do cycling. I'm also doing the MS150 bike ride from houston to austin in april, so I have to train some for that.

    Running and oly lifting class. I was a marathoner before crossfit so I love running and oly class because it's even great at helping me improve my technique in the c+j and snatch. I try and do 5 crossfit classes, 2 oly classes and 2-3 runs per week schedule permitting :)

    Just don't push too hard. You are going to need your rest after doing CF so your body can heal. We say in our box, you don't get stronger doing Crossfit, you get stronger resting after doing Crossfit.

    I would also recommend doing yoga on your off days. It really helps!

    Parenting. :laugh:

    I CF 4-5 times a week and don't do anything else. CF is still the only exercise I've found that I don't loathe with every fiber of my being.
