Time Lapse

For some reason, many people view being able to run X amount of miles as a standard for fitness. Whether "X" is a single mile, a 5k, or a marathon, conventional wisdom places these long-distance athletes at the top of the fitness pyramid. But us crossfitters know better...

More than most, they are devoted to their training, oftentimes not realizing that logging mile after mile is slowly breaking their bodies down, setting themselves up for chronic injury and relative unhealth.

With all of the misinformation being fed to our oxidative energy pathway marathon brethren, the fact still remains that when you get 44,000 people together to run 26.2 miles, you get one hell of a time lapse video shot. Enjoy...
