CFD Hosts CrossFit Endurance Certification

Registration Link
 
What is CrossFit Endurance?
 
The CrossFit Endurance Certification was developed on two fronts, 1. To allow CrossFit Athletes to still CrossFit and compete in endurance sports and bring a standard to running. 2. it gives a unique opportunity for endurance athletes to learn another significant way to effectively train for any event they wish to compete in. It also provides a unique opportunity for them to have a life outside of training. Something most endurance programs will not allow for with the sheer volume demand of these programs.
 
It brings to light the reality of LSD/Oxidative training and why it is ineffective and extremely unhealthy. It gives you the ability to understand training endurance athletes and how to make strength and conditioning a major part of the program and not a supplement.
