Weeks 1-2 Technique & Run Details
Find below, your first couple of week's session plans. The aim is to carry out the same workout 3 times in the week. Avoid following the plan on consecutive days to maximise recovery.
Week 1.
Warm up
6 minute brisk walk. It should be fast enough to get you puffing but not so fast that you find yourself having to slow down before the 6 minutes is up.
Dynamic Stretching
10-20 reps on each leg
Dynamic Calf Stretch Long and Short
Walking Quadriceps Stretch
Walking Hamstring Stretch
Any additional stretches you'd like to throw in. Make sure they're dynamic, not standing in a stationary position more more than 5 seconds.
Main Set
35 minutes alternating between a 60 second jog and 90 second walk. Make sure you've watched the lectures on pacing yourself!
Warm Down
5 minute walk at an easy pace
Week 2.
Warm up as in Week 1.
Main Set
40 minutes alternating between a 90 second jog and 90 second walk.
Warm Down
5 minute walk at an easy pace
