SBS Half Marathon on CrossFit training alone...

Just to let you know(IF you didn't already), CrossFit rocks! Iwanted to test CrossFit and myself - so I thought I'd enter the SBS half Marathon last week.

Silly maybe but I wanted to see or myself what CrossFit alone can do...

My longest distance run in 5 months was 1mile and in CrossFit workouts I've run about 6 times this year, yesterday I ran 13.1miles feeling great :-)

I found my calves were the only challenge when they became slightly sore after 16km, which I'm certain with the addition of 1/2 runs per week would build that "sports specific" calve stamina.

CrossFit is about Broad general, inclusive fitness - be ready for anything with CrossFit Christchurch!
My son Elias supervised the warm up, a man of few words but in possession of a coach's eye, the manual and sound making device ;-)



Crossing the line 1hr 45 minuts and 30 seconds later... I loved it! :-)

What's your CrossFit test?!
