You may remember we ran a couple of cohorts last summer using Log Slow Distance training. Here are a couple of comments from people you may know:
From Mandy Waller:
“Although I was very skeptical at first, LSD training
has greatly increased my cardiovascular endurance and efficiency. I am now able
to work faster with a lower heart rate over a longer period of time with much
quicker recovery.”
And
From Jonathan Dubroc:
“For my entire life, I thought the harder you go the
better. Now I realize it’s about the right mix of strength, HIIT, and LSD. LSD
improved my fitness and the focus on a targeted heart rate helped me listen to
my body while working out!”
Look we know this works. Just like we know CrossFit
works. Just like we know you will live longer better if you lift weights, keep your
cardio fitness up, and hit some short hard workouts. We know you don’t have to
kill yourself in the box every day to live longer better and as a matter of fact, killing yourself in the box may be counterproductive to that goal. You’ll
still look better naked…and you’ll look better longer!
If you choose to go this route here's the program:
We will assign you a coach who will help you design
your week to include 2 straight strength classes (already programmed) combined
with either a short met-con or 1 of your 3 LSD sessions and a long met-con. You
can use our rower, bike, ski-erg, or treadmill for your LSD sessions, or you can
use your own. This is a guided program using our already programmed workouts. The
monthly charge (introductory price!) is $299.00 a month. If you are interested
let me or Ellie know, and we will get you hooked up.
We also have a personal training option using the
same ideas but most of the work will be done off-site and not in class.
Here is another testimonial from David Savage:
John & Ellie are valuable coaches. When John
described his success and the impact of Long Slow Distance (LSD) it sounded
like a funny acronym, but it’s a serious training tool! I come to
CrossFit from long distance running, and slooowing down during long runs from
“race pace” has been hard. I typically end up 10-15 bpm above my Zone 2 rate
after 15min of running, but over a period of a few months I made some
improvement. I recently traveled to Africa and spent 9 days on a trek up
Mt Kilimanjaro - I am convinced the LSD training helped immensely! Only 5
of our group of 11 adults made the summit, and I did not struggle with cardio
at all.
So…you get to live longer better and do the stuff that lights you up for
as long as you can! Sounds like a win to me!!!
