CFS Endurance is Back!

Nick – Crushing the Paleo Challenge & his WODs

Do you ever find yourself sucking wind during long endurance workouts? Or slowing down during the running portion of any WOD? Are you a dedicated runner looking to improve your running technique and speed? Or are you interested in getting out of your comfort zone and training for your first race? If you answered โ€œyesโ€ to any of these questions, the new CrossFit Southie Endurance class is probably for you!

Weโ€™re very excited to bring back our Endurance class! 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. Weโ€™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, June 18 at 6pm. We are kicking things off with a complimentary 8-week session open to everyone leading up to a 5K race. Thatโ€™s rightโ€ฆ free for everyone! These classes will not count against your weekly class total for the first 8 weeks. If youโ€™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!
