Goal of this week:
Establish a higher run cadence than you currently have. T3 Coaching is a believer in high stride rates. Throughout this week, challenges will be given to help you improve your stride rate. Good luck and keep track of your progress!

Go for a 20-30 minute run, counting stride rate every 5th minute. Record numbers for later reference. Perform on a flat road or track for accuracy.

A strider is very much a controlled sprint. The goal is to run very fast with relaxed technique and a fast turnover.

Perform a 30 minute run as:
5 mins of jogging...
From minute 5-6, perform a 100yard strider...walk for the remainder of the minute.

Repeat this cycle 5 times to get a full 30 minute workout.

Start off by jumping rope for 2 minutes (rest as needed)
Run 5 minutes...return to jump rope
Jump rope for 90 seconds, trying your best to improve your quickness
Run 5' easy
Jump rope for 60 secs, even faster
Run 5' easy (quick little steps)
Jumpe rope for 30 seconds, hoping to achieve highest speed.
Run 5' mins easy
