What we're about

CrossFit Chula Vista Endurance is an adjunct to CrossFit for those who want to compete in endurance events from 5K to Adventure races. We believe strength, power, anaerobic conditioning, and proper mechanics lead to endurance success, not 'long slow distance'. There is method to our madness and we'll let you read our method both here and at CrossFitEndurance.com.

CrossFit Chula Vista Endurance.

CrossFit Chula Vista Endurance met at Fiddler's Cove Marina on Saturday morning for our grueling 5k repeats. That's right, REPEATS!!!!! ( Danielle). Ralph ran the most at (3) as he has a marathon just around the corner. Others ran 2 and we had a few new people who used the flat course to do a 5k time trial. Thanks everyone for joining us. It was a gorgeous day with little wind ( rare on the silver strand). And the flat course was a fast route for these east Chula Vista runners who are used to routes full of hills!

This week we will be meeting at 6PM at the CFCV on tuesday to run:
3 sets of 90 seconds on, 90 seconds off
3 sets of 60 seconds on, 60 seconds off
3 sets of 45 seconds on, 45 seconds off
3 sets of 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off
3 sets of 15 seconds on, 15 seconds off

Come prepared! What I mean by this is...

1. I've given you the WOD....there is no element of surprise. And I am doing this because I want you to prep yourself mentally for the run. Don't talk yourself out of it. Talk yourself into it. Envision yourself running this effortlessly. Feeling strong, feeling fast. Focus on the positives of doing this workout and arrive smiling and ready to take this on.
2. BE HYDRATED! This doesn't mean drinking a bottle of water at 5PM. You should be hydrating all day long. And if you have 3 minutes I would really like you all to view this video which can also be found on the Endurance page of the CFCV website on the importance of hydration

3. Be on top of your nutrition. "Garbage in , Garbage out!"
4. Already know what you are eating afterwards. Bring it with you, or have it ready to eat for when you walk in your door........ You should be eating after your workout even if it is 7PM!

Looking forward to seeing all your faces and meeting any newcomers!
