• We welcome all the new trial members to our family at CrossFit Preferred! We look forward to getting to know you better and helping you get in the best shape of your life!

• We had a great time Saturday celebrating Bridget Biggs 55th Birthday with and excellent WOD! We had a great turnout and everyone had a great time. Thanks to everybody that turned out!

• Mark your calendars for Saturday November 5th, 2016 at 7:00am and 9:00am for the Kirk Deligiannis Memorial WOD (We have posted the options for the three different workouts on our CrossFit Preferred Facebook page. This is a fundraiser for his family. He was only 31 and left behind his wife and two young sons. Kirk recently passed away after completing SEALFIT Kokoro 45 this last month. I (Kris LeSueur) have been a huge fan, Kokoro finisher  and supporter of SEALFIT for many years now. Kirk was an awesome athlete and motivator to many people in the CrossFit community, SEALFIT community and GoRuck Community. He also had a company that he was a part of that ran Charity Challenges. I participated in one of them this last year and really enjoyed getting to know him. They are asking that everybody that participates donates $20 and if you do not finish they would like you to donate $5 more:) You do not have to donate to come to class but please do if you feel so moved to that day.

• Referral Program – Just a reminder of our new referral program.  Any current CrossFit Preferred member  who brings in a friend or family member earns a free month for themselves and their friend.  Your friend will receive their first month free and after their first paying month you will earn a free month for referring them.  It’s a pretty sweet deal and no limit on how many friends you can bring in.  Member Amy Benton has earned two free months, as well as Marci Young earning a free month.

We are one month away from the Gilbert Half Marathon and 10K. The next race we will be training for is the Phoenix Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K. We will also be training for the Spartan Race. Only problem is both races are on February 25th. Signing up for a race will give you a goal and will help you train with purpose!

 

Everybody is doing great with their training! It has been so much fun to see each of you pushing yourselves out of your comfort zone and training for this race. I am super proud of all of you!

Workout

Long Run

10K Racers – Run 6 Miles this week – moderate pace

Half Marathon Racers – 10 Miles – moderate pace

Cooldown – Stretch 10 Minutes and throughout the day.

For anybody running/training over 1 Hour it is very important that you get some calories every 30-45 Minutes. It is very important that you start training this way and experimenting with different products. I like the Clif Brand Gels, Chews and Drinks. I also like the Ucan products.

Our friends Dan and Mary own Cadence Running Company. They are on the corner of Pecos and Gilbert. They offer all CrossFit Preferred members 15% off. They carry multiple products like Ucan, Clif and GU Brand gels, drinks and bars. They also have the best shoes for running and CrossFit. The best part about them is they are very knowledgeable and experienced so they can really help you figure the best type of shoe for you to train and race in!
