Check out the form on that guy! (and the pecs)



Nuno, on the right, has FANTASTIC run form. Look at how his center of mass is directly over his foot. His shoulders are square over his hips. His arms are at 90 degrees, and his legs are in the PERFECT figure 4. The guy on the left has pretty bad run form(maybe he's a "just a cyclist" who jumped in to a triathlon). The other guy has his arms low, his stride too long, and his hips and shoulders all the way open. Nuno is a CrossFit Endurance coach so he should be in great form, but not all coaches practice what they preach. I got this image from:
www.crossfitendurance.com
I have used the CrossFit Endurance workouts while training for Paine to Pain (I got 3rd in my age group, 12th over all). You are "supposed to" stick with only their workouts but sometimes I like to go run 10 miles on the trail and they never have a workout that long. I also am not fit enough, nor do I have the time to do their 2 workouts a day (1 endurance, 1 strength and conditioning 3+ hours apart) since I coach and train full time while trying to blog, coach a team, manage a business and maintain a family(couldn't do it without my wife, she runs the business).
Take a look at the CFE site and do the Mobility WOD, you will be glad you did.
Have a great workout.
