Week 6 | Half Day 40

Rest Sleep & Standing Challenge

Rest Sleep & Standing Challenge

Today is where you really get better. It’s hard to slow down in this world, but if you can learn how to do this well even once a week you’ll see the benefits extend way past running. So sorry, tell your friends you have to sleep in, skip that sweat-soaked SoulCycle class, and catch up on a little light reading.

Don’t worry though. We haven’t left you without anything to do. Each week we’ll be talking about a different aspect our favorite recovery-related topic: sleep!

Remember also people. OWN YOUR SH*T! The only effort you should exert today should be on ironing out all those hidden kinks in the body BEFORE they become a major problem.

Mobility is key to consistency, and consistency is key to a successful and fun running lifestyle.

Workout

  • Sleeping Habits

    What’s your bed time routine, and is it helping you fall asleep fast or is it responsible for hours of tossing and turning in the sheets? Learn some tricks to start the shutdown process a little earlier, so by the time you hit the pillow, the lights are already going out.

  • Standing Challenge

    This week is simple. Can you stand MORE than you did the week before?

  • Advanced Run

    Optional 3-5 mile run if you’re feeling good. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the mobility work as well! Only run if you will hold yourself accountable with all the mobility work as well!

Mobility

3+ minutes quad rolling

5+ minutes working on something (because we all need a little work on something extra!)
