Crossfit Endurance vs Old School: Pop goes the motivation

Pop goes the motivation

The balloon of motivation has completely popped. Without Mike as competition and motivation I have no desire at all to do a marathon. If I am in this endeavor alone until Mike heals, them I am just another "look at me" endurance blogger listing his workouts in a pathetic attempt to justify his strange compulsion.

CFE v. Old School Concept

Merrill (Merrill) is a 48-year-old runner addicted to a basic weight routine (some might say an incredibly powerful and impressive routine) and 30 miles each and every week.

Michael (mywrite) is a 36-year-old Crossfit devotee of nearly four years who enjoys running, but not 30 miles each and every week.

Wise (old) vs. Youngish (stupid), follow the two as they train for a half marathon in the Spring, and a full marathon in the Fall with their chosen programs.

Michael will use Crossfit Endurance (www.crossfitendurance.com/) and Crossfit as his guides, with a mix of power and Olympic weightlifting, conditioning, sprint and mid-range running workouts.

Merrill will train as he always has, running four times per week 6-7 miles at 7:30 per mile pace with a longish run thrown in once a week at pretty much the same pace, and lifting three times a week (bench, curl, upright rows, triceps, squats and military press). And oh yeah, two sets of pushups (50), pullups (15) and situps (eight minutes) everyday. Like Rainman.
