But why?
If you follow us on Instagram, you may have seen our post yesterday with respect to programming running days.On days when we program running we tend to see a dip in attendance. We typically hear people say things like, “I can run anywhere”, “I hate running”, “I can’t run because of xyz”.... etc...So why if we see a dip in attendance do we still Program all running days?Well for starters, yes it’s true that you can run anywhere, but, will you? And if you do, will get get the intended stimulus that the workout calls for? The full warm up, the drill work, the push from your fellow athletes.Some (very few) of you absolutely will. But the majority won’t. You might have the best intentions too, but something comes up and you don’t. Or you do but you don’t push yourself the same as you would with your class! We know this, so we program it!Running be it, long, short, sprinting, hurtles, etc. Are all part of CrossFit and part of creating a well rounded balanced athlete.Everything we do has a purpose. We would be doing you a disservice if we didn’t program it. Just like we would be doing you a disservice if we didn’t program Thrusters or Pull ups.Many people are talking about the sprints at the CrossFit Games this year, and how athletes will be going home and working on their sprinting. Sprinting isn’t new to CrossFit, they’ve had it in the Games for years (different variations) it just so happened that this year, cuts were made after the sprints. We’ve also been programming running days + WODs for, well always. Not all the time, but much like workouts like Grace, where it’s all barbell. Days like Tuesdays all running, are needed in your overall fitness!This isn’t a lecture, but rather an explanation, as we get asked the question. Why program those days if your numbers dip?!We ask that you trust the program + trust the process, everything has a place. Every focus piece + every workout a piece in your overall fitness puzzle. If you want to get fitter, don’t skip the days you don’t like!
