Questions: Quick question on rest in general -- what do you think the ideal amount of days one should be doing a cross fit workout? 3 days in a row, 1 day off? 4 days on and 1 off? And on the day off do you think doing something like running is fine or should I completely take the day off?
For the general crossfitter 3-5xs per week is plenty. I prefer a split that follows the structure of your work week, like 3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off. IF you want to come 4 or 5 times per week but you find the volume of work a bit much ,you are responsible for scaling (or asking for help on scaling) on your own. As programmer, I am responsible for considering folks who do 1 x per week and 7 xs per week- you can see how that may be tricky. If CrossFit is your only workout, just doing crossfit should be fine. If you are doing crossfit to supplement other goals, i.e. running an adventure race, you may need to do specific activities like running once or twice a week.
