The idea of high intensity training in endurance sports is not a new one. Over this past weekend, I had the opportunity to explore it in greater depth by completing the CrossFit Endurance Trainer Seminar<\/a>, and in the process becoming a CrossFit Endurance Trainer (this is in addition to my CrossFit Level 1 certificate<\/a>, which I completed back in June). The new view that CrossFit Endurance provides is that high intensity should be the mainstay of any endurance athlete\u2019s training. While the debate rages on among the CrossFit Endurance community and the traditional endurance community<\/a> (who CFE refers to as \u201cLSD\u201d\u2013 \u201clong, slow distance\u201d), the seminar reinforced my belief in the importance of strength, flexibility, power, speed coordination, agility, balance and accuracy for endurance athletes.<\/p>\n Too many triathletes, runners, cyclists and other endurance athletes overlook the importance of high-intensity workouts as part of their training, often seeing it as not necessary or a detriment even to their longer distance training. This couldn\u2019t be more mistaken. This type of training is not just reserved for traditional \u201cpower athletes\u201d, such as weightlifters, wrestlers or football players. Instead, it should be a core, foundational element of every athletes\u2019 training, including endurance athletes.<\/p>\n Every triathlete, runner, cyclist, swimmer or other endurance athlete should apply four fundamental, \u201cpower-based\u201d concepts to their traditional endurance-based training to maximize performance results:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These principles of course, should be applied in addition to other core aspects of a well-balanced program, including nutrition, mental skills training, race strategy, etc..
