Run 5.5
miles and begin with an easy pace. Make sure you stretch just a little to get
the kinks out of your legs. Once ready, head out the door to your favorite
trail and go.
As you run,
pour it on for about thirty seconds and then jog for five minutes. This will
get you used to forcing sprints and demanding something from your body when you
need it.
Be sure to
not only run off the paved areas, but along grass, ditches and where ever your
adventures take you. During my run I jumped across narrow ditches that run
perpendicular to my course and through ditches that run parallel to the course.
If you run
through neighborhoods, run in grass and stay off the sidewalks. You might have
to dodge poles and mailboxes, but it will keep you sharp.
For those of
you who live in Huntsville, Alabama and who might work on Redstone Arsenal, we
have a fitness trail. The run covers miles and miles of asphalt trail. However,
when possible I run the just off the trail and through leaves, woods and fields.
My run goes from the Von Braun II building to the swimming pool and then back.
Try these
obstacles from the Army Physical Readiness
Training book. They are fun:
