We can work it out!

So, Todd ran his third marathon yesterday with similar results of the first two- nearly debilitating pain in his hip about three miles into the 26.2. I keep pestering him about training differently- running WITH weight training so I'll take this the passive-aggressive route. I'll put up a weekly workout for him (or those of you training for a marathon) that includes the following equipment: you and a stopwatch.

Go get it.

You should work out 6 days a week with 1 day off. 

3 days of interval running:

1 : 1 interval for 20 total minutes

Run: 30 seconds of 65% of your maximum speed (you’re slightly winded at the end)

Walk/slow jog: 30 seconds

3 days of 200 meter runs (200 meters at Neumann’s indoor track is 1.25 laps) ps- 8x200m=1 mile

1.       Start watch and run 200 meter run as fast as you can

2.      Note time

3.     Rest until watch reaches 2 minutes

4.     Repeat finishing each 200m within 2-3 seconds of 1^st time

-Repeat this sequence 8 times (8, 200 Meter runs)

Weight Training- 4 days

For week 1, please complete each exercise 3 times, for 20-30 seconds each, resting 20-30 seconds between each

Core 2 days out of 6:

Cradle Crunch

 Core 

Arms- 1 day out of 6:

Push Ups 

Legs- 1 day out of 6:

Jumping into Shape

Squat thrust into star jump- 

Air Squat-

 (although it looks silly, hipflexer strength is VERY important for runners- take the thrust seriously!!)

Hey! While you're here, can you vote for me on this? kthanksbye.
