    BTB Endurance is a revolutionary training program which shifts the paradigm for endurance event training. Our program is based on the CrossFit Endurance (CFE) protocol, which takes the stance that stamina is the foundation of endurance. We contend that the best way to train for an endurance sport is to limit an athlete's exposure to long, slow, distance training while focusing on short, intense anaerobic workouts; therefore enabling the athlete to remain functionally competent in other areas of fitness and excel in the endurance sport of choice.

    Jump Rope Skill Transfer for Endurance: Part III

    Part three of the series - we're getting fancy, y'all!


    The remainder Spring & Summer Endurance schedule will be two days a week - Mondays at Buckhead and Tuesdays at Ponce. Each location will alternate short intervals & long intervals per week so that athletes have the opportunity to do each in a group setting. The Tempo workout will be programmed to do on your own as it has in the past. As a reminder, if training for an event, the prescribed plan is one short and one long interval per week and the tempo run, in addition to your 3:1 work in the gym.
