May 4th Tuneup

RUN

Your Warmup:

Run for 10 minutes

During the 10 minute run:

    • Perform 5 rounds of 10-15 meters stable arm drill

 

Note: Once 5 rounds of the stable arm drill are complete, finish the run in the remaining time.

 

Your Workout:

After all the hard work you’ve been putting in with your runs the last few weeks, your only objective is to go out and try something new!

    • 35 – 60 minute Run (time depending on your current level of fitness). Find a trail or, go to a neighboring city where you haven’t run before, and have fun!

 

Note: A great day to do this would be your long run over the weekend (if that’s when you do your long run!)
