Our programme is the idea compliment to your long slow distance runs. At Crossfit London you will have the opportunity of training with open and sharing runners anxious to review their sport in an open and impartial manner.

For now, you need to get crossfitting, so sign up for our beginners sessions. or hit the getting started button

Ideally we want to “get at” new runners, before you settle into the old Long slow distance only pattern. We need to teach you how to run 1st, then build up your distance. In fact, the primary focus of Crossfit london is to make our running programmes available to beginners, or as Crossfit Endurance says

“How do I start?

Our suggestion is this… Running: Start with 8 x 200m repeats working up to 4-5 x 800m repeats. Bike: Start with 8-10 x 1/4-mile repeats working up to 4-5 x 2k repeats. Swimming: Start with 10 x 50m/y working up to 10 x 100m/y. Rowing: Start with 8 X 500m repeats working up to 4-5 X 1K repeats…… Meaning you should be able to handle this workout and a CrossFit workout in one day. PROGRESSION is the key.

For Stamina (tempo and time trial) you should be working on building from about 10 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the distance. You will never really need to train much further than the 90-minute mark if you are working hard enough.

Do not be fooled in thinking you only have to train for stamina for 10-90 minutes. If you are a triathlete trying to make the transition into this program you will need to gently progress into it.”

Above all, see running as not simply moving faster, see it as a skill to be learned
