For those of you who came looking for last weeks workout schedule, oops! I forgot to post it- i hope you enjoyed your break. But, that doesn't mean this week is the same, were going hit the ground running with week #3!
WEEK 3
| On run/walk days, walkers walk only. Runners run for 20 seconds/walk for 40 seconds. |
| Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
| Run/walk 30 minutes | Walk 30 minutes | Run/walk 30 minutes | Walk 30 minutes | Rest | Run/walk 2 miles (3.2 km) with Magic Mile* | Rest/ walk |
*
The Magic Mile is a training tool designed to help you find a realistic race pace. On the first Magic Mile, warm up as usual — then run or walk one mile (1,600 meters) slightly faster than your normal pace. Time your one-mile run/walk with a stopwatch. Run or walk easily the rest of the distance assigned for the day. On each successive Magic Mile, warm up as usual — then try to beat your previous one-mile run/walk time. Your 5K race pace should be one to two minutes slower than your fastest Magic Mile time.
Looks like this is going to be a difficult week so I hope everyone didn't get too lazy on their week off! That's all for now! Check back on Wednesday for Tip #3!
