Run with heart rate in zone 1 on a flat, soft surface. VERY easy. Embarrassingly slow. Best alone.
Sample Day 2
Strides. Warm up. Then 4-5x20 seconds fast on soft, gentle downhill. Approximately 400m race pace. Not all out. Relax. Walk and hop back to start point during each recovery. Hop 30 times on right leg and then 30 times on left leg (hops are to build foot/leg strength). Zone 1 cool down.
Sample Day 3
Time Trial: Warm up well for 5-10 minutes. Run 2 miles as fast as you can consistently maintain. Cool Down for 5-10 minutes.
Sample Day 3
Click on paper clip in upper right corner to see exercises. Start with 10 reps and do 2 times through. Once comfortable with all exercises increase to 17 reps, then increase to 3 times through.
Sample Day 4
It is necessary to keep the body limber and flexible. Stretching should be done after warming the body up with cardio work. It should never be done before an endurance work-out as it weakens the muscles.
