Running Form Clinic

Saturday, 21 May at 8:00-10:00am

$20 (Discounts for CrossFit Mt Olympus athletes)

When you were a child, you ran properly. Now that you’ve grown you somehow unlearned everything. If you have run a long ways, you probably hurt yourself along the way.

Running the way nature intended

We think nothing of swimming lessons, but running? We have been running all our lives. What can you learn about running? A lot. Gravity can be a cruel mistress, unless you learn to use it wisely.

Proper running form is quite simple. There are three phases:

Pose. Just like the above photo, pull your foot up into a figure-four pose with your support leg directly underneath your hips.
Fall. Lean forward from the ankles, keeping your body in a straight line. This allows gravity to move you forward
Pull. Pull your support leg directly up into the figure-four pose and repeat the whole process at least 90 times/minute while running.

We will host a clinic to show how CrossFit Endurance can help you at all distances: 1 mile, 5k-10k, Half-marathon, marathon and ultra marathons. You can be competitive with 6-8 total hours of training per week.
