Speed Work: Tuesday is a great day for speed work! We’ve rested up a bit from our weekend long runs and are ready to move!

Doing Pick Ups this week…this is a simple and fun way to add speed to your weekly run and get a little bit faster. Here’s how to do it….

Pick Ups: These “modified fartleks” are meant to be fun…and fast! They’re considered modified because I you do them with a purpose using a specific time or step count. Choose a day when you are doing a short run…30-45 min or 3 miles. Warm up with a slow jog for about 10 min then STOP and stretch. Start your watch over…then do rounds of :15 (all out fast) :45 (slow). Continue this for your entire run. If you don’t to use a stop watch…count your steps during the fast part using the ground strike of one foot…a good rule of thumb is 24-26 steps (one foot). Once you have completed 3 miles slow down and do a cool down for a good half mile or 10 min. Overall you should get in over 3 miles with warm up and cool down. Then go home and STRETCH! Here’s our 7 Key Stretches for Runners.

You’ve got the plan…Day 29, Bonus, Speed Work….get to it and make it a great day Core Crew!  🙂
