Marathon Program

Week of July 18th

Week of July 18th

Run

Warmup:

• 3 x 0:30 mountain climbers

Run Drill:

Cadence:

• After 5 minutes, count your cadence. Then Every 5 minutes, run with a 5-10 step higher cadence.

Trick: try to run the same speed (so shorter steps).

Focus points:

• Cadence does not equal speed. It’s part of it, but don’t let a higher cadence affect your normal jogging speed. It should feel like your feet are moving quicker.

Mobility Exercise:

• Seated glute stretch with spinal twist. 2 min each side. Big breaths!
