Want to improve your performance as an endurance athlete?  How about reduce your risk for common endurance-related injuries?  What about increasing your lean muscle tissue?  Level 4 CrossFit Seattle is offering a 12-week strength class for endurance athletes starting this January.  All levels of strength and experience are welcome in this class.
 
The class will be held twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8pm and will cover basic strength building, including strengthening the legs, hips, core and upper body.  There will be a blend of pure strength plus power work to maximize results in improving exercise economy and performance.  Equipment such as barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, pull-up bars, sleds, tires and boxes will be used.  Start the new year with this class and set up the rest of your year for success!

The half marathon program will begin on April 25th and is 9 weeks long. There will be group events twice a week, on Wednesday nights from 6-7pm and Sunday mornings at 8am. Wednesday night will primarily consist of speed training work with the occasional running clinic. Sundays will be the group long run.

An extensive training calendar, including both running and CrossFit in the schedule, will be provided to participants. You can participate in this group even if you choose not to run the Seattle Rock N Roll Half Marathon. You may also elect to attend only on Wednesdays or only on Sundays.

Beginning and experienced runners are welcome for the running program but need to have enough running base to be ready to run 6 miles on the first long run.
