Easy Runs

Yesterday and Today where just easy 40 minute runs. I did some strides on the grass to test my leg. It is still sore and will probably need a week more recovery. I am also doing a lot of upper body work. Pushups, Pull ups, core exercises, etc.

2 easy 4 mile runs today

It was a cold and rainy day. I was still feeling sore so I am just doing easy jogging. I ended up doing both morning and evening runs. I will probably do this for the next few weeks to improve my aerobic base.

7x300m

Today was an easy warm up followed by 7x300m @ 48,47,46,46,45,46,45 sec with 400m easy jog recovery. I was feeling a little sore from yesterdays plyometric training.

20 minute run, strides, and drills

Yesterday I did a mixed workout of plyometrics and strides. I also did some jump roping. My plyometric training included 2x50 knee high box jumps. The jumps are continuous for each set and involve bouncing of the ground rather than stopping after each jump. This is very difficult and leads to explosive power need for speed.

30 min run, 1x400, 3x200m with drills.

Today was another perfect spring day. I started with a 20 min run. 3x12 pullups, 1x400m @ 60 seconds, 3x200m @ 29,29,27 seconds. I followed the last 200m with 40 pushups, 100 dips, and 4x100m strides.

Today was a nice relaxing 8 mile run on the Nike campus. It has nice cedar chip trails that makes running easy on the body. The trail also has some light rolling hills for a little variety.
