Workout of the Week

Here is the latest Workout of the Week:

Warm-up:  5 - 10 minute brisk walk or job

Main Set:  2 - 4 one-mile repeats, depending on ability:

• The first repeat should be run at intensity of 6/10
• The second repeat should be run at intensity of 7/10
• The third repeat should be run at intensity of 8/10

Take an easy two-minute jog after each mile.

Cool-down:  5 - 10 minute walk

Try to increase the intensity of each mile you run.  Although I list three repeats in the example above you do not have to run three repeats.  If you can run only one repeat, run that one repeat.  If you can run four repeats, run four repeats.

As I always suggest, use common sense and run within your personal ability and limitations.  Intelligent, consistent running always yields more benefits than overreaching and risking injury.
