Workout of the Week

Warm-up:  5 minutes brisk walk or jog

Main Set:

• Four to six rounds of the following:
• 3:30 / Intensity Level 8
• 1:30 / Recover

Cool Down:  5 minute walk

As always, remember intensity is all relative.  Do not force yourself to run outside of your current ability.  Keep in mind intensity can change within a single workout, as well, as you become tired.  So you may be able to run at 6.5mph for the first 3:30 interval but at only 5.5mph for your final interval, both of which may feel like a Level 8 out of 10.

The 1:30 recovery can also be an easy jog or simply a walk, depending on one's ability.

Finally, the choice of four to six rounds is also based on your ability.  If you can barely finish four rounds, make the smart decision and call it a day.  If you're still feeling strong after four intervals, go after some more!

BE SMART AND RUN WITH YOUR HEAD AS MUCH AS YOU DO YOUR LEGS!
