BORN TO RUN!

Whether you are an Olympic sprinter like Michael Johnson or a dedicated Marathoner like my boy Eric Veditz, three things must be present for success: Dedication, proper form, and the right amount of rest and recovery!I am in no way an elite runner. I have run a handful of 5 and 10ks and even faired quite well in a half marathon last year. Although I have decent foot speed and above average endurance I definitely can't compete with the two gentlemen pictured above. Yet I still make time in my workout program to get some sprint work in along with a conditioning run every now and then. Recently I have noticed a disturbing trend within my tight Crossfit crew. We as a group hate running! I know that is hard to admit. We as Crossfitters pride ourselves on being well rounded athletes but 400 repeats and 5ks have been getting pushed aside way too often as of late. Sectionals are almost two months away and I guarantee some type of running event or WOD with a run portion will be on the agenda. So at least once a week put down the kettlebells and chalk bucket and lets get outside and run!!! -ANDY
