Is here! And you all know what that means- Summer training has begun! I know some of you have been rowing, or running already, but here is what is on the slate for today:
- 2 Plyometric exercises of your choice
- Small Tempo run #1.
If you can find a track to do your tempo run on that would be great. What also works, as Liz has suggested, is a football field! I’m sure most of you live near a high school with a field of some sort. Otherwise, if you’re like me, and this isn’t quite the case- women’s colleges are notorious for not having football fields, and the college next to my house has no fields with marked lines- you can pace it out by taking decently large steps (think strides.) Be sure to warm up well before doing these with about 15 minutes of cardio (running, etc.), stay hydrated, and stretch afterwards! Have fun and let’s see how much participation we can get!
So for the Fri/Sat portion of this week, I did the assigned workout on Friday, but I substituted a 40 minute bike ride on saturday, since my ankles haven’t been doing too well. Where I live is quite hilly, so it was almost like doing intervals. How about everyone else?
Hi everybody, I Hope everyone is enjoying summer! So far I have not done any of the assigned workouts, but last week I attended a spinning class at my local gym, I did two of Courtney’s body circuits and I went for a 35 min. run. I started this week off with another spinning class. The classes are really fun so if you have access to a gym that offers group workouts I would totally recommend it.
I’ve been out of the country for the last couple of weeks, and I just got back today. I’m going to try to do tomorrow’s workout with a friend, but I have an interview for a scholarship which may throw a wrench in things, so it might happen on Wednesday instead.
Good luck! I hope your interview went well.
I’m still in Poland for about 2 weeks, and I’m 3 weeks from shoulder surgery. I’ve been running 4km about 3 -4 times a week alternating with abs/squats/back days with my resistance band.
