It is important that your endurance workouts occasionally test your mental limits.  These workouts will build experience and, ultimately, confidence.   Our workout will include distance(s) that are very rarely performed within the CrossFit community.  Yes, these workouts will develop you structurally.  However, your ability to stay focused and positive will be challenged. 

Intermediate Distance
2 x 2000m with 6min rest between efforts

Long Distance
1 x 3000 with 7min rest plus 1 x 2000m 

Ultra Distance
2 x 3000m with 7min rest between efforts

MILE PACE INTERVALS

My amazing endurance crew getting in their 30 plus minute warm-up.

Foothill College Track

Monday, Feb-3 at 5pm


Intermediate Distance:
3 rounds
400m, 300m, 200m at mile pace with equal run to rest time and 2-3min between rounds

Long Distance:
3 rounds
500m, 400m, 300m at mile pace with equal run to rest time and 2-3min between rounds

Workout Details:   We have run a lot of sub-threshold intervals these past few weeks.  It is time we run a VO2 max paces workout. The mile pacing will feel aggressive.  However, the 4-5 minutes of rest between rounds will allow a sufficient recovery.  The workout goal is to maintain pace consistency between the rounds and interval distances.
