Hi! It’s Haley here with your weekly training for our 5K coming up on April 30th (more details to come).
Let’s get started!
Week Five:
*Before each run, make sure to do a warmup with some dynamic stretching (the moving kind). Here’s a sample warmup: 20 walking lunges, 20 Frankensteins, 20 windmills, 20 quad pulls, 20 hip openers, 20 hip closers, and then stretch anything else you need.*
Sunday 03/05- Start with 3 miles and run at a comfortable/slower pace, record your time.
Monday 03/06- Do 3 miles at a slightly faster pace and record your time.
Tuesday 03/07- Rest day. This is super important in keeping you away from injuries so don’t forget it!
Wednesday 03/0-8 3.5 mile run at a comfortable pace, record your time.
Thursday 03/09- Add in some cross training for 10 minutes then do a different type of cardio such as cycling, elliptical, swimming, etc. Here’s a video of an example of a little harder difficulty than the last ones: CrossFit.
Friday 03/10- Rest day. This is super important in keeping you away from injuries so don’t forget it!
Saturday 03/11- 3 miles, run as fast as you can and record your time.
*After each run, cool down with a slow jog for about 5 minutes. Do some stretching at the end incorporating dynamic and static stretches. I always need to stretch my hip flexors. Here’s a good post-workout stretch video: Here*
