Strength Workout Explanation:

High-intensity option day! If you are not actively doing 2+ running workouts a week right now, do this at high-intensity. Otherwise, just cruise through the workout and focus on consistency.

Strength Workout:

Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes:

    • 200m run (or 1:00)
    • max reps DB reverse lunges in the remaining time.

Rest 3 minutes

Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes:

    • 200m run (or 1:00)
    • max reps dumbell thrusters

Notes: At the start of the workout, and every two minutes after that, perform a 200m run, then use the remaining time before the next run to accumulate either lunges or thrusters.  At the 2 minute mark, stop doing whatever you’re doing and run 200m. See how many reps you can get in!

Mobility Exercise:

    • 2-3 minutes each side of calf massage while circling the ankle to really get in those tissues. Use DBs from the workout.
