March 19th Tuneup!

March 19th Tuneup!

Run

Warmup:

10 Side Lunges (Each)

10 Squat Jumps

0:30 Bent Over Spinal Twists


Early Hills, Late Volume.

You job this week is to spend 30 minutes running hills. I won’t make it too specific, but spend some time either running consistent hills, or even doing some sort of moderate intensity hill repeats.

After getting good and tired from the hills, run flat for 30+ minutes.

The goal is to run on fatigued legs on the flat ground and try to hold what is a normal pace!

This is a way for you to experience late-stage fatigue without needing to run all the volume necessary to get to late-stage.

Mobility Exercise:

Stop yourself 0.5 miles (0.8k) before getting back to where you will end your run and walk it in.

This is a very simple trick you can do to force yourself some time to cool-down.

A lot of us are in a rush, I know, but allowing yourself a 5-10 minute walk after your run is going to help you in the long haul!
