I am going to start with a definition from Wikipedia:
hitting the wall or the bonk is a condition of sudden fatigue and loss of energy which is caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles. Milder instances can be remedied by brief rest and the ingestion of food or drinks containing carbohydrates.
This can happen in CrossFit but I have experienced this more with workouts that go well over an hour and recently experienced this in the Grand Canyon this last weekend as I completed the Rim to Rim to Rim Challenge. It is about 48 miles with 11,700 feet of climbing and almost 11,000 feet of decent.
My hope is that my experience I share today will help you with your Grand Canyon hike in a couple weeks! We want to help you to do your best!
It is all about having a strategy and sticking to it throughout the hike.
