CrossFit Covalence – CrossFit Sunday Runday Starting in August and moving into September we will be using Sunday for our 5k Race Training! Each day will be a workout focused on getting ready to run a 5k in October/November. If anyone has a race that they are doing or know of, please share and we can make it a gym wide race! Finding your pace day (Distance) 10 Rounds 1 Minute Race Pace 2 Minute WalkToday we will start with the basics. I want you to pick a goal time for your 5k.

For today’s workout, you will run each minute at that 8:00/mile pace and rest for 2...Read more
