This is a collection of my thoughts and observations that I've made throughout my CrossFitting career. With the growing popularity of CrossFit, new boxes are springing up everywhere but the quality of coaching is still lagging behind. This can be easily fixed by actively discussing various topics that will help improve the quality of our coaching. The goal is to improve your understanding of human movement so that you can better coach any athlete that walks through your doors.
I went to a running clinic recently and learned the ideal stride cadence is 90 strides per minute. My average stride cadence is 78-80 stride per minute. So for this run I used Podrunner.com running mixes to help me improve my cadence. I played around with 180bpm mixes to get my cadence down. I essentially have to reteach my body to run with a greatly decrease stride length and increased turnover rate. It's pretty difficult, but if I continue using Podrunner mixes I'll get there eventually.
