POSE ® running v. Conventional…something (or, Us v. Them).

POSE ® running, when combined with a dedicated mobility protocol and frequent skill practice, improves running economy and reduces injury potential. Look for an upcoming announcement on the first MPH Running Clinic of 2011, or join our Running Team!

for time:
row -or- run 5k
Compare results to January 1, 2010.
for time, run 5k:
36:47
1) This is the first time I’ve actually run a 5k, so while the time is not impressive, I’m proud of the accomplishment because I did not stop or walk at any point.
2) I think I could have run this a little faster, but I’m trying to POSE on a treadmill, and I don’t have the hang of it yet. I might also have set the pace a little slower than necessary because I tend to start out too fast and then fall apart.
I also popped into CrossFit LifeSpark tonight for their WOD:
For time, 5 rounds
10 hang power clean at 66 lbs
20 box jumps 8″ box (this is my kind of box jump!)
10 knees to elbows on floor (holding clean bar)
6:49
Then, about 1.5 hours of gymnastics work: forward/backward rolls, backward rolls into handstands (which at first I thought was a joke), free-standing handstands, cartwheels – it was fun, and useful, I think.
Good to see that the Pose guys are putting all of their efforts into their product, rather than into their marketing.
5k time – 30:10 That video is really funny. Jeff
