Yep. CrossFitters are now jumping on the Pose Running bandwagon. They even offer classes to get certified in "Crossfit running".
I thought xfit was all about NOT doing any endurance work because that lead to inflammation such?

I thought xfit was about having cool tatoos to show off in the gym?
Not that I think tatoos are cool, I think they are ugly, but hey, each to their own.
Crossfit is about making money. Anything they can do to shake more fees out of their members is fair game. There are only so many people out there who want to work out so hard that they brush up against rhabdomyolysis. Crossfit has to soften and broaden its appeal if it is going to have any growth and survive the 2-5 year half life for fitness fads.
Had to lookup pose running. Possibly the dumbest athletic fad I've come across.

Agree.
Crossfit and pose running are made for each other. Hilarious.
Run how you run. If you need to work on your form, work on your form.

Classic click bait threat, but I'll bite.
CrossFit basically invented pose running, well, CrossFit Endurance that is.
It is never a good idea to train for long distance running, since your PHYSIQUE will shrink (chest, back, arms, legs, overall package, yes that is a proven fact - I have talked to many women about this).
But if you must train for a Marathon, CrossFit Endurance is the best way to do so. It emphasizes CrossFit Style Sprint Repeats over slogging (slow long distance jogging).
Even mainstream is picking up CrossFit Pose now, even some Kenyans are now running "bare feet". This is a good development but they need to start eating a bit more so that their women stop making jokes about them.
You are my very favorite LetsRun troll.
No, it didn't, it was borrowed very recently.
Ok, that is obviously partially true. Running high mileage and bulking up are not very compatible
It doesn't emphasize sprint repeats, it explicitly is set up to teach steady state running technique.
There have always been some barefoot runners in the Kenyan community. That is where the concept of barefoot running trickled into the mainstream consciousness 30 or 40 years ago. Anyway, barefoot running and pose running are not the same. Pose running is a bizarre misinterpretation of what happens when you run barefoot.

You said it. If you have time to read this article it will tell you everything you want about xfit.
Glassman figured out the money is not in gyms, but in branding and "certifications".

It is a good thing that you have to get certified to be a coach for CrossFit. You want qualified coaches not self taught "experts" like you have with running.
Ever wondered why runners get injured so often? Maybe that would be different if any of their coaches would shell out a few dollars and get certified?

Yeah, who would ever want some no nothing without a certificate on his wall, guys like Lydiard, or Daniels, or Wetmore. What do they know?

There's a number of reasons runners get injured so often, none of it has to do with untrained coaches. The unqualified coaches are only coaching middle-schoolers who can't run fast or hard enough to hurt themselves.
From the Inc. article...
"Anyone who passed his two-day seminar could apply to open a box, call it CrossFit, and then rush paying customers through squats and snatches or whatever crazy WOD they dreamed up."
Yeah that's some great "certification".

+1. Yep.

I know you're a troll, but I think it's important for people to know that those things don't have to be mutually exclusive.
I did indeed lose chest and arm mass while running...but then I started lifting as well. I lift in the morning, run in the evening. Now I have not only gained back what I lost, but I have even more bulk. I do 4 lifts that take a total of 20 minutes, and I do them each day. Only 1 of the days per week do I do "difficult" weight; the rest of the days I just lift medium-difficulty weight for maintenance. I also make sure to eat plenty of protein. Easy. And all without doing any crossfit. For those interested, my mileage is roughly 55 - 65 mpw, depending on how things play out for that week.

Blah blah blah
You do realize that your keyboard has an ENTER key, right?
Use it.
No one wants to read through an endless paragraph.
Thanks.
XFit Bro, you're a weak troll compared to your predecessor but I still enjoy you're trolling. I suspect you're really a 130lb runner living in your Mom's basement.
Cross Fitters have always been posers.
