Just a reminder that the CrossFit Southie Endurance program kicks off tonight at 6pm! If you’re interested in improving your running technique, speed, or just overall endurance to improve your WOD times, come check out this class and take part in the 8-week program! You will not regret it.
The CrossFit Endurance philosophy promotes power and speed over distance and volume in endurance training. The goal of the program is to increase power and speed while decreasing recovery time, reducing injury, and promoting sustainability over time. This type of training can be applied to any type of classic endurance event: 5K race, marathon, triathalon, biking, swimming, etc. However, the benefits of this style of training will also make you a better CrossFitter in general.
The CrossFit Southie Endurance Program will be held on Thursday nights at 6pm and Sundays at 9am. Sessions will be 60-75 minutes and will include a warm up, running technique drills, followed by a running interval workout. There will also be short lectures on relevant endurance topics during some sessions, along with video feedback and instruction. The classes will be led by a team of very skilled and qualified endurance athletes who will be familiar faces to all of you: Sebastian Buhaley, Petra Sankari and Brett Fiorovanti. All three are dedicated CrossFitters but also very accomplished runners with years of experience coaching and running themselves. We’re very excited for them to share their knowledge with you and make you all better, stronger and faster athletes.
CFS Endurance will begin on Thursday, August 21 at 6pm. We are kicking things off with a complimentary 8-week session open to everyone leading up to a 5K race. That’s right… free for everyone! These classes will not count against your weekly class total for the first 8 weeks. If you’ve got friends who are runners who you think could benefit from a different approach to endurance training, bring them along! The more the merrier. We recommend that you attend as many sessions as possible during the 8 weeks to take advantage of the videos, lectures, and running drills each week. Get pumped to get fitter and faster, and hopefully run your fastest 5K yet!
