April 2nd Tuneup Workouts

April 2nd Tuneup Workouts

Run

Warmup:


Hip Warm-up

2 Rounds

2 Standing Hip CARs on each leg

1:00 Run

Workout:

Early Hill Repeats & Late Moderate Effort

4 Rounds:

3:00 Hill Run (goal is maximal elevation while running, no walking)

Rest is easy run back to base and 1:00 at base.

Rest 3-5 minutes after hill repeats, then…

30-45 minutes moderate tempo effort run.

Notes:

• The tempo effort should not feel good. And that’s on purpose! The hill repeats should shock your legs quite a bit. So today, we practice hitting tempo pace with tired legs. This is an important race training stimulus for later stages of a race!

Mobility Exercise:

2 Rounds 10 Deep Lunge to Hip Extension (each)
