011: Shane’s Training

I pulled this off Brian’s Facebook today and just got through reading 20 year old Shane Skowron’s account of running and completing the Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run, using CF & CFE as his training regime. Haven’t gotten through much of the blog, but it seems to cover his training leading up to the race in great detail.

A few quotes:

Why this way? I chose to train this way to experiment with this radical CFE program, and because it worked well for my goal — to build the physical fitness and mental strength needed to become a Navy SEAL.

Someone who looked over my training program called it a recipe for disaster. That was just the motivation I needed…

I was confident, but at the same time worried about minor things that could stop me from my goal. I probably hadn’t even run 100 miles in the last three months, and I expected to do it in a little over a day. I remembered what Carl from Crossfit Endurance told me, that my training will get me through it, but I just had to wrap my mind around the fact that it’s going to be a really long day.

It’s a fine read and a true accomplishment by this young man. Read the full article here.
