Beginner – Walk for 5 minutes, run for 15 minutes, walk for 5 minutes. Stretch
Purpose – Your walk should progressively get faster over the 10 minute period. Run at your pace. The 5 minute walk should be fast to start with and then get slower toward the end of your 5 minutes. This is to build a base for later runs.
Intermediate - Walk for 2 minutes, Run for 30 minutes, walk for 3 minutes. Stretch
Purpose - Building a base for later runs.
Endurance – Walk for 2 minutes, Run for 40 minutes, walk for 3 minutes. Stretch
Purpose - Base building.
Elete - Walk for 2 minutes, Run for 20 minutes with 3x 60-sec. pick-ups, 5x 100m strides. cool down for 5 minutes. Stretch
Purpose - Continue to work for your base. The “pick-ups” will help with leg speed. Do not over do your pick-ups though. Just make them about a 10-bpm (see heart rate monitor) bump.
Alternate - Indoor Bike for 30 minutes. Lift mild to no weights at 10 reps each (no leg workout)
Purpose - Getting the cardiovascular system a workout. Staying indoors during bad weather may be somewhat beneficial especially if daylight is limited.
