Building a Runner's Foundation with CrossFit:

Running is more than putting one foot in front of the other—it's about building a foundation of strength, endurance, and agility. CrossFit lays this groundwork, focusing on the core and lower body strength critical for powerful, injury-resistant runners. At CrossFit Excel, we tailor CrossFit to your pace, ensuring every deadlift and squat translates to a more resilient stride on Manteca's running routes.

VO2 Max and Running Economy:

Your New PR Awaits: Every runner seeks the thrill of a new personal record, and CrossFit is your pathway there. Our high-intensity, varied workouts are designed to maximize your VO2 max, enhancing the efficiency of your runs. Whether it's through our signature AMRAPs or challenging EMOMs, you'll find your breath coming easier and your miles getting faster.

Diversity in Training: Preventing Injuries One WOD at a Time:

Repetitive stress injuries are the bane of many runners' existence. Since 2008, CrossFit Excel has combatted this with CrossFit's diverse Workout of the Day (WOD) regimen. From box jumps that bolster tendon strength to kettlebell routines that build muscular balance, we've kept Manteca's runners off the sidelines and in the race.

Mental Grit Meets Physical Toughness:

Running a marathon isn't just about your legs—it's about what's between your ears. CrossFit hones the mental toughness required to push through the wall. In our gym, you won't face these challenges alone. The sense of community and collective grit in every class will power you through tough training days and across finish lines.

CrossFit Workouts with a Runner's Edge:

Our CrossFit program features workouts specially selected for runners, including:

  • Thrusters: Fortify your running posture and build endurance.

  • Sled Pushes: Develop explosive leg power for sprinting and hill conquering.

  • Agility Ladders: Enhance foot speed and coordination—key for agile maneuvering.

Balanced Training for Optimal Performance:

We help you find the sweet spot in training frequency, mixing CrossFit with running workouts so you can excel without burnout. Our coaches are adept at crafting routines that dovetail with your running goals, whether you're eyeing a 5K or a marathon.

In Manteca, running can be more than a pastime—it can be a way of life. At CrossFit Excel, we fuse the endurance of a runner with the strength of a CrossFit athlete. Our legacy since 2008 is not just in the weights we lift but in the runners we've helped across countless finish lines.
