CFV Endurance Wods


CrossFit Endurance was developed on two fronts:

1. To provide for the instruction of proper running mechanics



2. To provide for the unique opportunity to compete in endurance sports while having a life outside of training; something most endurance programs will not allow for with the sheer volume demand of their programs


It brings to light the drawbacks of long slow distance (LSD) / oxidative training and gives the CrossFit Athlete the ability to understand efficient training for endurance events and how to make strength and conditioning a major part of the program and not a supplement.


Endurance Wods generally limit weightlifting (they leave that to regular CrossFit wods) and focus mainly on time dependent or distance dependent sprints. The "endu" wods also follow a progression based on the distance of the actual endurance event. Accordingly, an endurance session is completed in one month for shorter distances and (approximately) three months for longer distances.


Requirements for participation in a CFV Endurance Session will be as follows:


-Proof of registration for the intended Endurance event


-Attendance of a minimum of 3 regular CrossFit wods per week


-Additional CFE Membership (w/ discount for CFV members)


CFV Endurance Wods will be held on Wednesday Evenings at 830pm and Sunday Afternoons at 300pm at the Millburn High School Track starting May 9th and May 13th respectively.


CFE Pricing:


Our first CFV Endurance session will be geared toward improving 5k times and will last approximately 4 weeks. The benchmark 5k will be the Susan G Komen North Jersey Race for the Cure on Sunday May 6th. In lieu of a CFE membership, all interested participants are asked to donate to CFV member Meghan Farrell's team "Remembering Rockafellow". Please register for the race and donate here
