Week 8 | Day 56Welcome to the world of tempo intervals. Run on either flat to rolling terrain, track, or treadmill these workouts will teach you how to hold faster speeds for longer periods of time. Newer runners will continue to learn exactly how to pace at 1/2 marathon, 10km, and 5km efforts using rate of perceived exertion (RPE). Advanced runners can use a heart rate monitor or GPS device to more finely tune their race pace for the next event!
Either way these intervals will push you to your next level of running ability & increase your confidence to set that new PR!
Start of run stand tall with your hand on your belly and the other on your chest.
Take 10 deep belly breaths.
Include a 10 minute building warmup connecting your breathing with your stride rate.
You warmup is KEY for performance in today’s temp run. Include:
1 round: 10 knee to chest & walking lunges
1 round: 10 spiderman crawls & 10 mountain climbers
1 round: 10 downward dog pushups & 10 burpee/broad jumps.
Run for maximum distance for 30 minutes.
Note your distance, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and heart rate if you have it. Treat this like a race, i.e. do not hold back!
Options: tempo runs can also be done on a track or a treadmill. Best to avoid stop signs and stop lights, and steeper hills in either direction.
Progression Run + Hill Intervals
45 minute progression run.
• Run at easy pace for 30 minutes, then moderate-hard for remaining 15 minutes.
Rest 5 minutes. Stay loose! Include things like leg swings, hip circles, air squats, etc.
6 rounds: 10 second hill interval.
Rest 3-4 minutes in between.
Notes:
• The goal of this is all about muscle stimulus, not aerobic stimulus. So allow yourself enough rest between these reps so you can focus on maintaining a high turnover rate and speedy ascent.
• These should be fast!
• Use the steepest hill you can find ???? Options to: continue up the hill, slow jog back down to the start, or use a treadmill indoors.
