ADVENTURE RACE TRAINING

Adventure race training can happen many ways. Honestly if I lived in the mountains, I would train differently than I do here in the flatland. I live at an elevation of 645 so I have to be creative.

That is why I used CrossFit and CrossFit Endurance to train. I get a fast, hard workout and it prepares me for the hills.

I will be the first to say that there are various ways to train. I have trained 3 different ways for Primal Quest and all work. I just love CF and CFE and that is where I stay for now.

TRAINING PLANS

adventure race training There are a lot of CrossFit programmers out there. The one I could most closely follow for Adventure Racing was CrossFit Navy Seals. I enjoyed it but the workouts are long and I usually only use them working up to an expedition length race, because of the time I must put in to other specialty events such as rollerblading and climbing.

I use the CrossFit Endurance site along with their anaerobic strength and conditioning program mostly. I tweak it for adventure racing.

I do not stick with the main site much and I tell you why and all about the different ways to CrossFit for adventure racing right here at CrossFit for AR
