Lake Merritt Joggers and Striders
When you are not busy rushing to CrossFit Oakland to get your WOD on you may want to check out this very cool group of running enthusiasts who arrange multiple runs in the local area with a focus on timed events around Lake Merritt.
This group organizes timed runs every 4th Sunday of the month these runs feature 5K, 10K and 15K loops around the lake.
These runs will allow you to get independent verification of the fitness gains you have been the beneficiary of by doing CrossFit. Trust me after 3 months of CrossFit you should see measurable improvements in your 5K times. The is particularly relevant to CrossFiters because the 5K distances is in the fitness time domain we love to work within not weakness time domain most long distance runners must enter to achieve competitive times.
Post the names of the CrossFit Oakland members you can identify in this picture to Comments.
