Sunday, Novemeber 22, 2015 – 3:30 pm – Running Clinic @ CrossFit Johns Creek

During this clinic held at CrossFit Johns Creek, we will spend three to four hours (depending on the number of athletes) to help you become faster, stronger, and increase your overall fitness and performance by improving your running mechanics and helping you move more efficiently.

Lauren Cortjens, our resident Endurance Guru, will give athletes an in-depth education into the CrossFit Endurance Methodology.

At the beginning of this clinic she will work with each athlete to video and evaluate current running mechanics and identify areas of improvement. After working on running skills and drills she will use video to re-evaluate running mechanics and give each athlete specific an action plan for areas to continue to work on going forward.

Space is limited to 10 participants. The costs of this clinic is $45.
