CrossFit Endurance


Some of you may have seen these words before. For those of you that haven't heard about it, are too lazy to research it on your own, or seem to lose focus once terms like glycolitic pathways and slow-twitch musle fibers appear in front of you - you are in luck. There is a cool kid by the name of Manni who is willing to spoon-feed a good amount of info. CrossFit Endurance was created to allow CrossFit Athletes to continue CrossFit'ing like champions whilst competing in endurance sports. CE brings a new standard to running. Also, it gives a unique opportunity for endurance athletes to learn another significant way to effectively train for any event they wish to compete in. It also provides a unique opportunity for them to have a life outside of training. Something most endurance programs will not allow for with the sheer volume demand of these programs. When you think about it - that's what it's all about, right? Getting the most bang for your buck. Of course I am speaking in relation to "time". 
Train faster, while training better.


It brings to light the reality of LSD/Oxidative training and why it is ineffective and extremely unhealthy. It gives you the ability to understand training endurance athletes and how to make strength and conditioning a major part of the program and not a supplement.


So that is the nitty-gritty. This methodology is what most of our run training will reflect. 
I will gladly answer more questions as time progresses. 




In the meantime: This SMART run will consist of sprints. 
The meeting place is the Washington-Lee High School track.
Be there by 0900hrs, because we commence shortly thereafter. 
If you have a timepiece, bring it with you.

8x400M

Rest time = time it takes you to run your lap

(for example: I run 400m in 1min:45sec, I rest 1min:45sec)

See you in the morning - rain, shine, sleet, snow, or meatballs.
