Christmas training advent calender: 3rd Dec 2011, Day 2

Brrr…..its cold but its great to run in, so….

Get outside and enjoy!!

OK everyone its day two (of many).

Today its simple running, yes RUNNING, don’t be jogging on me now….jogging is so 1980’s.

All you need is some running shoes (barefoot style please Vibram fivefingers would be best), shorts, a hoody, a bottle of water, an iPod and a true belief that you can run and you can run fast.

Today’s workout:

Warm up: 5 – 10 minutes, taking it easy  (run, skip, stair climb come on you know what to do to get warm!!)

Pre-stretch: give your quads, hamstring and calves a good old going over.

Main session :

4 x 400m (as fast as you possibly can……)

Rest for 1 minute between each 400m.

RUN Forest RUN!!!

Post workout deep stretch: Hold the following stretches for 90 seconds each.

Hamstrings, Glutes, Quads, Hip flexors, and calves.

……and now breath deeply and head home,

giving yourself a massive pat on the back for training hard today. oh yeah, good time now to grab a recovery drink.

Please post your time below in comments.
