I'm a 10 yearish swimmer with a group that does interval training. I generally do 2000-2500 yards 2-3 days a week. I have recently started doing some open water swims (2-3 a summer, 1 mile up to a 5K). In the past have done a spin class 2 days a week. But am location-challenged on getting to a gym so started running on 2 off days and doing some weights at home. But since have started running really feel slow in the pool. Thinking I should put running off until the openwater season over for me (Nov.) Any suggestions for a muscle confusion, cardio workout to compliment swimming?
I've been researching CrossFit recently, and might throw in 2x per week when I return to the states. It looks like you can do a lot of the workouts (WODs, or Workout of the Day) w/o equipment, or little, like a portable pull-up bar. CrossFit certainly looks like it meets your "muscle confusion, cardio workout" requirement!
