A few months ago I didn’t know the difference between endurance and stamina.
While strength, mobility and metcon are standard in the CrossFit vocabulary there is less talk and explicit programming about some other critical physical skills.
If there is a key takeaway from SealFit’s approach, it is that you have to work as hard on going the distance (endurance) and keeping the load (stamina).
My former rest days are now focused on long slow distance (oxidative) work, like running, swimming and rowing. During the week there is now plenty of stamina work with very high volume weighted movements and moderate intensity (not for time).
These two skills are the difference between failing to make the 60-minute cutoff on a Murph or doing it twice in a day sub-40 with a weight vest… Or so I’ve heard.
