Week of March 6th

Run

This weeks focus is on the long run!

Warmup:

Before Long Run

2 Rounds

10 Air Squats

7 Leg Swings

6 Wide Squat Slides

1:00 Run (0:30 out, 0:30 Back)

Workout:

For Long Run Day At the halfway point of your long run this weekend, for the remainder of your run (excluding the final 1-2 miles) perform the following:
Start Each Mile With:

1:00 Surge

Immediate Re-Groove

This is a fun exercise to add a little more aerobic support to your long runs and keep your legs out of the slog jog hog jog.

Example (16 mile Long Run) 8 miles at normal LR pace 8 miles beginning each mile with 1:00 surge.

Focus: Immediately re-establish your normal pace. This can be very difficult and will feel dramatic, but finding your pace under elevated fatigue is a wonderful tool to increase work capacity and recovery pace.

Notes: Sorry my head got cut out of the treadmill shot! You don’t need my ugly mug anyways 🙂
