We all see our typical CrossFit programming in Wodify every day, but don't forget there is so much more! I will often pull a workout from one of the Sunday options, or from another track, when I come in on my own time. Early this morning, I did one of the three Sunday options listed in Wodify. (On a 40-minute clock, 2 mile run, AMRAP of the following ...) These
