I admittedly let our blog slip these last several months. I sustained an injury last year that took me out of things for about seven months. It's taken about another six for me to get back to a place where my training and performance is near what it was prior to the injury.
That said, I want everyone to know the blog is back in action.
I think the best thing to do is to simply pick up where we left off...let's start with a Workout of the Week.
One-for-One Interval Workout
Warm-up: Five-minute brisk walk or easy jog
Main Set:
Repeat the following ten-minute cycle two times (20 minutes total)
- 1 minute at intensity 6/10
- 1 minute recovery at intensity 3/10
- 1 minute at intensity 6/10
- 1 minute recovery at intensity 4/10
- 1 minute at intensity 7/10
- 1 minute recovery at intensity 4/10
- 1 minute at intensity 7/10
- 1 minute recovery at intensity 4/10
- 1 minute at intensity 8/10
- 1 minute recovery at intensity 4/10
Cool-down: Five- to ten-minute walk or easy jog
As I always say, use common sense when it comes to workouts where the intensity begins to ratchet up a bit. Run within your ability and adjust any paces accordingly.
