Week of December 12th
The weather looks decent this week, so I encourage you to make it to the track if you have the opportunity. Hopefully you are keeping track of your split times on your intervals to help you gauge your speed for future workouts of the same interval length. Make sure to track your effort level as well, and when your training speeds get easier it is time to bump up the treadmill or push your split times around the track.
Workout #1: Long Interval - Warm up with dynamic warmup (skips, shuffle, hurdles, leg swings, etc). Run 1 lap (.25 mile) at an easy pace and pay attention to quick cadence, midfoot land, and quick pull of leg rather than pushing off. 4 X 800m (2 laps at the track or .5 on the treadmill). Rest 3 minutes between intervals and stay within 3-5 seconds on each interval (finish with consistent times). Record split times and/or treadmill settings and stretch and foam roll when completed
Workout #2: Short Interval - Warm up with dynamic warm up and 800 meter run jogging on the curves and pickup sprints on the straight aways (if treadmill slow for .10 and fast for .10 - alternate for .5 miles) 10-15 X 100 meter run, easy back peddle back to start (or jump off treadmilll and jog backwards for 30 seconds) rest 30 seconds and repeat. Finish with plank wheel (plank 30 seconds prone, side, reverse plank, other side X 3)
Saturday Run - TBA

Week of December 5th
Weather looks somewhat iffy this week, but I think we will have atleast one or two sunny days to get outside and shake our legs out. Frostbite series starts this Saturday for anyone interested, and it is not too early to sign up for Go St. Louis in the spring. Now that it is getting colder outside you need to embrace the icy temperatures and put some cold weather running gear on your shopping list. Hat, gloves, ear muffs, and layering will let you keep running all through the winter - start making your santa list!
Run Workout #1: Traditional drill warmup. 5 rounds of 400 meter (.25 on the treadmill) run, 40 squats, 30 situps, 20 pushups and 1 minute plank. Start running immediately after your minute plank is up. Time yourself and write your time down somewhere. We will repeat this workout later to see if you get any faster.
Run Workout #2: Run 1 mile easy. Run 30 seconds and rest 30 seconds for 10 rounds at 10% incline at 90-95% effort. Rest 5 minutes then run 30 seconds and rest 30 seconds for 10 rounds at 0% incline at 90-95% effort. Cool down with fast paced walk to stretch out legs then stretch and roll with foam roller.
