I waited
until the weather was a balmy 48 degrees and went for a run. I focused on
running today to clean out the system. I’ve been doing so many exercises and
stop start running that I was looking forward to a real run until…
it seemed just too boring, so I compromised.
The
trail run had a few obstacles. Here’s what I did in today’s training.
I ran off
trail as much as possible. You know you are successful when after the run you
have stickers and other forest vegetation clinging to your socks and inside of
your shoes. Along the route I jumped onto and off several elevated man hole
covers. At the 2.25 mile mark I hurdled a 4 foot wall, did a tire obstacle and
jumped over three two foot obstacles.
At the 2.5
mile mark I turned around and headed back. But, not before performing two
cycles of the following:
- 10 push-ups
- 10 squats
- 10 burpees with push-ups (the only way)
- 10 squat thrusts
On the way
back I hit the same obstacles and man hole covers I had hit earlier.
During a 5
mile run, you might feel a little distracted, so it’s important to keep your
senses by challenging yourself to run fast and perform some fartleks.
