Running always brings out the moans and groans. "Do we have to run? Can't I just stand on my head for 15 minutes instead?" Think about when you first started CrossFit and how the warm-up lap seemed so long and now you can just breeze through it. The dynamic Freddy C. from CrossFit OneWorld is hosting a CrossFit Running and Endurance Certification August 23rd and 24th in Union City to help you get over your fear of running. First of all Freddy C. is one hella of a great host and even if you hate running I guarantee you are going to have a good time. Here are the details of the event (notice that you aren't running 25 miles or anything like that):
Start and end time: 9 am to 4 pm each day with a 1 hour lunch break.
Meals: On your own.
Other: Possible social gathering and dinner on Saturday night.
This Specialty Certification will be presented by Carl Borg.
What's your CrossFit "Helen" time? It could be better in a weekend by improving your running efficiency. Maybe you want to improve your 5k, 1 mile, or 400m times? Or your marathon?
Do you hurt when you run? Do you suffer from shin splints, knee or hip pain? Improving your running efficiency may be the key to running both pain free and faster.
You will run less than 2.5 total miles over the weekend and spend two full days with Coach Carl Borg learning the fundamentals of run technique. Learn how to utilize CrossFit and minimize oxidative overload to improve the performances of both your short distance and endurance athletes.
Carl Borg is an expert in strength and conditioning for endurance athletes. He has extensive experience in programming and in turning the mediocre performer into a great athlete. Carl played a pivotal role in developing the CrossFit Endurance program. In the past, Carl was a competitive expert class cross country mountain bike racer along with a short course triathlete. Today he competes in ultramarathons. He incorporated both CrossFit and CrossFit Endurance into all of his training which allowed him to complete the Angeles Crest 100 mile endurance run on an average of six total training hours per week prior to the race.

The cost is $595, $495 for law enforcement, fire and military.
Josh and I were considering it, but that's more than we can afford right now.

$500? Seriously?
Damn, this sounds like some good shit, but that's a lot of money. If there are some other people from CFS that plan on attending, I will seriously consider it. I mean, my running needs a LOT of help, but I don't know about $500 worth of help...
