The FCF Running Program

The long-awaited return of Running Program has arrived! Weather has finally improved, and we have revamped the program to provide an effective and high-quality experience for our athletes.

Don't let Barry beat you!

We look to bring the techniques and skills of elite runners to you. Our goal is to enhance speed, reduce effort, prevent injuries, and restore a love of running.

The six-week program is entirely focused on the skill of running, not improving work capacity (that's what CrossFit is for!). We are seeking to improve runners ability to maintain the optimal running position and optimal transition to run. Then we'll train you to do it at faster speeds and for longer distances. Athletes will learn to work with gravity and the other natural forces involved in running - not against them, which is the cause of injury and inefficiency.

Classes will start on June 21, and be held at 7am and 6:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There will open-invite events on Saturdays to fun runs, either on trails or at the beach.

Cost:

• $120 Foundation CrossFit Members
• Non Members: $285

A couple of notes:

• Like our CrossFit classes, the same lesson will be held at two different times. You only need to attend one class per day.
• You may attend a morning class on one of the days and an evening class on the other.
• You don't have to commit to a class time, however consistency in time and day of attendance is appreciated.
• If you can only do 1 of the classes per week due to scheduling difficulties, a discounted program of $70 is available, although frequency is an important part of the program.
