CrossFit Endurance and the Upcoming Race Season


Spring is finaly on the books and Summer ia hopefully quickly approaching so many of us are beginnig to work towards endurance goals of all sorts including Triathlons, Marathon's, 1/2 Marathon's, 10k's or 5k's. Lucky for us, CrossFit has a sister site called CrossFit Endurance (http://www.crossfitendurance.com/) that is training designed specifically for multi sport and endurance athletes. I have tossed many of my old training habits out the window and have vowed to follow CFE for my endurance training this coming season. Below i have posted some basic info from their website and encourage you all to visit them for more!

What is CrossFit Endurance?

CrossFit Endurance was developed on two fronts, 1. To allow CrossFit Athletes to still CrossFit and compete in endurance sports and bring a standard to running. 2. 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.

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.
