Day 14: So That’s Where They Went…

Sorry fellas…this one is for the ladies…but don’t try to skip out on arm day!

It’s a common problem for a lot of us. We work out, lose weight…and lose other stuff too!

Good news? They don’t go away…they just move around to make us stronger! 🙂

Let’s make sure we put those lost boobs to good use… it’s Arm Day! YAY!!

Day 14 exercises: 3 sets of 10

****Click here for how to videos****

Push Ups
Hammer Curls
Monkey Arms
Plank – Your Choice (:45 2X)

I know the monkey arms feel weird but try them. Use smaller weights if needed or grab some water bottles if you don’t have weights small enough.

Don’t forget to try the Hammer Curls Swings if you want to step it up a notch. Click here to see how these Hammer Curls swings are done and how they can help you run faster!

Bonus: Shoulder Shrugs – Training your upper body improves your posture and getting rid of rounded shoulders will help you get more air in and out of your lungs. You’ll also carry your arms more easily, wasting less energy in your runs. Try this exercise to stand taller and build strength in your shoulders and arms.

Use your heaviest weights and stand tall with weights in each hand,. Rise up on your toes while lifting your shoulders up to your ears. Come back down. Make sure you are using heavy enough weights to feel this in the top of your shoulders and in your calves. Repeat 15 times for 3 sets.

Extra Credit Photo: Let’s have a little fun today and see who can do some amazing back bends! I know a few Core Crew members who can rock these….Stretch out your arms and shoulder and show us your best back bend!

This is not a hard day y’all…should be pretty quick so take today to add in your speed work!

Speed Work: I haven’t had a chance to look through a lot of yesterday’s posts yet….but I haven’t seen much speed being thrown in this week. Show me some speed Crew! Click here and scroll t the bottom for this week’s speed work and pace info!

End your day with our 7 Key stretches for Runners, then pat yourself on the back for a hard days work!

Day 13: Strength & Stability Leads to Greater Mobility & Better Technique

In theory, running isn’t a two-legged activity. Of course, we have to use both legs, but it’s really a series of one-legged stances conjoined by the act of managing a controlled fall.

There is never a time when both feet are on the ground. So single leg strength and stability couldn’t be more important for runners.

While we’re running the body does whatever it takes to stay upright and balanced, often recruiting the strength of other muscles. We must work harder than normal to run the same pace over a given distance, especially as the bigger, stronger muscles become fatigued; this leads to a reduction in running economy.

A reduction in running economy causes some muscle groups to overcompensate, leading to gait changes, which can cause nagging dilemmas such as a sore Achilles tendon or iliotibial band syndrome to more serious injuries such as anterior knee pain or plantar fasciitis.

What’s the solution? Work on strength and stability the same way you run—one leg at a time. Single-leg balance training teaches you to isolate and strengthen specific balance muscles while improving your reaction time. Only when muscles are balanced can the body run fast and efficient for long periods of time.

Lucky for us, our Tuesday Leg/Stability day hits these marks perfectly so let’s get to work!

Day 13 exercises: Legs/Stability – 3 sets of 10

One Legged Bridge – 3 sets of 10 each side
Side Lunges – 3 sets of 10 each side
Side Lying Leg Raises – 3 sets of 10 each side
Plank – Your Choice (:45 2X)

Bonus: Single-Leg Balance Drill

“Think” – dynamic warm up – single leg swing we do before a race to loosen up but without using something to keep our balance.

WHY: The most relevant to running, it activates your arch to maintain good foot and ankle alignment.

HOW: Start by standing on your left leg, lift your right leg straight toward the 12 o’clock position if you were standing on a clock. Gently swing the right leg forward and back, from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock. Repeat 10 to 15 times each leg. It’s important to use this exercise to build balance and strength so do your best not to hold onto anything but it’s ok to stand close to a wall or doorway to keep from falling.

Speed Work: Have you made a plan to get your speed work done this week? Do you know what intervals and the pace you should be running? If not, please click here and scroll to the bottom of Monday’s post for all the info.

Remember that speed work is not just for runners who want to log faster times; speed work will also help you improve your running/breathing economy, resulting in feeling better/breathing better during your long runs!

Throw in some post run stretching and don’t forget to log your miles for Racery! Current team standings are below:

Don’t let you excuses catch up with you…Keep Running Crew! 🙂

Day 12: Purrrrfect Workout

Today’s ab and shoulder workout is a great way to build upper body and core strength…and it’s the purrrrfect way to start our week!

3 rounds today, throw in a little bonus work, then plan out your running schedule for the week. When will you get your speed work in? Plan now so you have plenty of time to get in some other short runs and recover before going long again on the weekend.

If you want to succeed, you must have a plan!

“BRACE YOURSELF”

Before getting started, let’s about “bracing”.

According to the Runner’s World article, “Building Running Specific Core Stability”, bracing is the neuromuscular exercise of abdominal bracing, which entails simultaneously co-activating all of the muscles that surround the spine. The purpose is to teach the body how to prepare for stabilization.

If you’re jostled in a race, getting tired and need your core stability to hold you upright, or lose your footing in a race or trail run, your brace should naturally engage, stiffening the spine and improving your ability to quickly reposition. Bracing should be performed during all core and whole-body strength/stability training.

To practice bracing, pretend you’re going to be punched in the stomach; this should stimulate all the muscles to tighten around the spine. However, you must be able to do this without holding your breath. Training the brace independent of breathing is essential for optimal exercise execution and performance in sport. This brace will help “groove” this supportive pattern so that, over time, it will activate with an unconscious effort.

Practice “bracing” a few times before you start your exercises, think ‘getting punched in the stomach’, and hold that position for a ten count, then release. Practice “bracing” a few times then use this core activation while you’re doing each of the exercises. This simple move is one you can do anywhere, anytime to tighten and tone your abs, and to train them to support yourself unconsciously when you need it most.

Day 12 exercises: Abs & Shoulders – 3 sets of 10 + Planks

****Click here for how to videos****

Mountain Climbers
Kettle Ball / Dumbbell Swings
Shoulder Presses
Plank – Your Choice (:45 3X)

Bonus: Bird Dog with Squares – Get on your hands and knees and brace with a neutral spine. Without moving your spine, reach out one leg and the opposite arm. Outline a square with each outstretched limb while maintaining the curve in your spine. Return both to the starting position and repeat on the other side. Perform 3 sets of 6 repetitions per side. Add this to your ab arsenal for a great bonus workout whenever you have a few extra minutes.

On to the fun stuff!

Speed Work: Last week we did a 5K to see where we’re at and what kind of pace we need to run for our speed intervals. Did you write your time down? Grab it and let’s see what you’re doing this week.

Workout = 1 mile warm up; 400M x 10-12X (2.5-3 miles); 1-2 mile cool down – Total of 5-6 miles

Yes it’s a tough workout…but you can do it! A track is ideal for speed work but this is an easy workout to do on the road or the treadmill too. Do a slow warm up for 1 mile, then move into your 400M intervals. That’s either 1 time around the track, or .25 mile. After 400 meters (.25 mile), stop, rest, and breathe for :60. Then do it again for a total of 10-12 .25 mile repeats. When you’re done head out for a 1-2 mile cool down.

These intervals should not be done all out. Start a little slower than your goal pace so you have enough left to do all 10-12 repeats. If you can hold that pace, or close to it, for each interval you’re doing it right! If not…keep trying!

Below are 5K times with short interval paces and time goals starting at a 25 minute 5K. If your 5K is below 25 minutes or over 40 minutes, let me know….but this should cover most of us.

RRCA Pace Chart Developed by Amby Burfoot (www.ambyburfoot.com) Only 5K times and paces listed here

Example: My current 5K PR (ran at a race in May 2016) was 27:04. So I would use the 27 minute guideline and run my intervals at a 7:50 pace, with the goal of finishing each one in around 1:58.

We ran this drill at my PRS track workout last week and I was able to pull times between 1:47 – 1:55 each. What did my Coach say? “You can run a faster 5K then 27 minutes.” This may be true…but I need more practice in order to put them all together. Remember, we are taking a :60 break in-between each interval to rest, breathe, and recover. It is a great confidence booster though and give me the motivation to keep working on it.

Speed work takes time, and practice. Do your best, write down your times, and compare your results each week. Remember…speed doesn’t come overnight, but if you keep working on it…you will get faster. Be patient and work hard Crew!

Questions? I’m here to help so please ask. if you are confused, don’t just go out willy nilly and do “whatever”. Reach out to me and let’s make sure you have your plan ready to go.

Let’s get to work and start the week off with a bang!

Days 10 & 11: Long Run + Stuff & Arms/Back

Time for our favorite workout of the week…our long run!

This weekend instead of doing the same old boring long run, let’s throw in some fun stuff.

“Stuff” refers to adding strides, surges, pickups or progressions to the typical easy or steady long run. The goal in adding these components is to change the stimulus for adaptation ever so slightly. By adding in some faster running toward the end of the long run, you force recruitment of muscle fibers that generally are never trained at an easy or steady pace. By slightly changing which muscle fibers are recruited, you now train those harder-to-recruit fast twitch-type fibers under aerobic conditions, therefore increasing their endurance.

Strides and surges are two easy ways to get a little more bang for your buck during the long run without adding much undue fatigue. They both work by changing the muscle fiber recruitment slightly, and can prevent the post-long run flatness that often occurs. This happens because the faster segments change the tension in the muscles and leave you with some “pop” in your legs instead of staleness.

Strides should be done immediately after the completion of the long run and should include four to ten by 100-meter runs in length at about your 10K race pace. This should be seen as an introductory session, which then progresses to surges over the following weeks.

Surges should be done during the last 3-4 miles of the long run and should include segments where you pick it up to around 10K race pace and then back off to your easy pace for a short segment. I recommend starting with 5 x 30-second surges with two minutes of easy running between reps and work your way up progressively to where you’re doing 8-10 x 45 to 60-second surges with 2-3 minutes recovery in between. This should not be a taxing workout, but instead a comfortable surge that lets the legs loosen up a little bit.

Pickups and progressions are two slightly more challenging options for adding some spice to your long run. The goal of these runs is to press the pace down so that the body gets used to increasing speed, increasing the aerobic demand, and recruiting muscle fibers when glycogen levels are getting progressively lower at the end of the long run. Once again, we are looking at training muscle fibers that aren’t normally trained aerobically and triggering the body to become more efficient with using up its glycogen stores.

Pickups should be introduced in small doses. Start by picking up the pace to marathon race effort or slightly faster during the last 5 minutes of your long run. Every few weeks, increase the length of the pickup by 5 minutes until you get to the point where the last 20 minutes of your long run is done at a quicker pace.

Progression long runs, on the other hand, should take a gradual approach. Instead of spending the last bit of your long run making a sudden change in speed, spread that speed increase out over a longer distance. Start with a gradual progression over the last quarter of your long run (the last 4 miles of a 16 mile run, for example) and increase that until the last half of your long run is spent gradually ratcheting down the speed. The goal is the same: get down to just faster than marathon race pace by the end of the run.

Progression runs sound very similar to negative spits, but there is a difference. Negative splits refers to your time coming down a little bit each mile. A progression run is where your time stays very similar during the first part of your run and then you choose a point where you pick up the speed and hold that pace over the last portion of your run.

What type of run will you choose this weekend?

Strides
Surges
Pickups
Progression

Remember these different long runs are not just for distances over 10 miles. You can do these types of workouts with any mileage…just make a conscious choice before you start and add it in as you go. If you’re doing a 3-5 mile long run and want to do a progression run, do the first 1.5-2.5 miles at a slower pace then pick up the pace and hold it for the last 1.5-2.5 miles. If you’re thinking pickups, for the last 5-10 minutes of your run, pick up your pace to the pace you want to run at your next race.

The whole point here is to start taxing your body a little each long run so it starts to get easier and more comfortable. This way, when it’s time to race, you’re ready to hold that faster pace.

Whatever you decide, make a plan before you head out. Having a plan is very important to ensuring you know what to do, how to do, and are successful following through.

Day 10 exercises: Long Run + 7 Key Stretches for Runners + Plank – Your Choice (:45 2X)

Day 11 exercises: Arms/Back – 3 sets of 10

****Click here for how to videos****

Burpees

Day 9: No Six-Pack Needed

Six Pack Abs are a highly coveted physical attribute in the world of health and fitness. The pursuit of health perfectionism has become an obsession, and a thin waistline adorned with six-pack abs is at the forefront. But chasing a body shaped by conventional standards of attraction and achieving an ideal midsection can turn out to be a long and dangerous road, leading to hormonal, emotional, and physical issues.

This isn’t because six-pack abs are inherently bad or unhealthy, it’s because the pursuit and achievement of six-pack abs can bad and unhealthy for us.

Why?

1. They serve no functional purpose.

Having a visible six-pack serves no functional purpose for the human body. This is because defined abdominal muscles are usually the result of extraordinary leanness, not increased functionality and strength. While having a strong, stable core is most definitely necessary to support the body – it doesn’t have to be visible to function properly.

2. It won’t make us any healthier.

Because having a six-pack serves no functional purpose, it’s safe to assume it also doesn’t provide any added health benefits. There are plenty of healthy, fit and athletic men and women without a six-pack, many of whom are stronger and faster than those who sport abdominal definition.

4. It’s important to support our body with food.

To achieve the leanness needed see abdominal definition, we have to eat less food than our body requires. As a result, it’s easy to become obsessed with food intake, and it becomes was all you think about every-second-of-the-day. Eating below our necessary caloric needs, means not recovering well from training, and being much more prone to injury. This also leads to bouts of depression and anxiety.

Having a healthy relationship with food and being in love with how it nourishes our body, is the best outlook. Loving the way we look, what our body does for us, and not thinking twice about eating chocolate at 3pm is worth way more than anything a six-pack has to offer.

7. We have other fitness goals.

Achieving a six-pack takes a hella lot of work. When abdominal definition is the end-goal, almost all of your fitness time must dedicated to becoming lean. This is not our end goal. Our end goal is to become stronger, faster, and healthier.

It’s important to love our relationship with fitness. We don’t need to spend hours working on our core, we just want to be strong enough to carry us through our tough runs and look decent in our clothes. We want to do activities that we enjoy, not spend hours doing core work.

We want to be healthier, stronger, and more fit…but that doesn’t mean we have to have that “coveted” six pack abs.

Don’t worry about pleasing this two percent of people because six-pack abs are not requirement of physical attractiveness, and pursing a six-pack would be a complete waste of our time.

Six-pack abs are not inherently bad or unhealthy. If you’re sportin’ a six-pack and have a vibrant, healthy body and outlook on life – keep at it! But next time you’re inclined to “pin” an image adorned with six-pack abs designed to tell you “your body isn’t good enough unless it looks like this” – I challenge you to ask yourself, “Who am I doing this for?”

Let’s be healthy, strong, and fit. Let’s work towards reaching our goals, without obsessing over the perfect body image. Yes you need to watch your caloric intake…but not to the point of obsession. Be mindful, without going to far.

Today’s workout will help you achieve your goals, without taking all day!

Day 9 exercises: 3 sets of 10

Crunches
Dumbbell Side Bends
Russian Twists
Plank – Your Choice (:45 2X)

Bonus: #DailyAbs – There’s always the options to do a little more…but our Daily Abs routine is quick and efficient. Do a few rounds for an extra burn, then enjoy your day. Relax, get some rest, hydrate, stretch, roll out your legs…and get ready for those long runs!

Day 8: No Ifs, Ands Or Jiggly Butts

Got excuses? NOT TODAY! No ifs, ands, or jiggle butts…that means YOU! No Excuses!

You know cardio isn’t a leg workout right?Yes running does wonderful things for our legs and butt…BUT it’s not enough!

The best strength exercises for runners have two characteristics:

They prevent injuries by focusing on the specific needs of runners (hip and glute strength)
They are compound, multi-joint movements like squats (the machines in the gym do NOT count)

For most runners, the largest benefit of strength training is a reduction in running injuries. With stronger muscles, connective tissues, and more resilience to fatigue, you’ll get hurt less often..and be able to increase your speed easier.

According to StrengthRunner.com,”here is a list of the best strength exercises for runners:

Squat
Deadlift
Lunge
Push-up
Plank

They’re simple, basic movements that all of us as runners should be able to do.”

The best news? We do all of these exercises!

Need more reasons to ditch the excuses? We all know this…but it never hurts to be reminded…Why do we take the time to strength train? Read on…

Enough chatting…let’s get to work.

Day 8 exercises: 3 sets of 10

****Click here for how to videos****

Donkey Kicks + Fire Hydrants
Weighted Squats
Deadlifts
Plank – (:45 2X)

Bonus: #WallSitChallenge

I know you love wall sits so lets do it 3 times!

Wall sit with heel raise for 1 minute, single right leg raise for :30, then single left leg raise for :30.

You can do this! Take a break into between if you need to but push through!

No ifs, ands, or jiggly butts…and no excuses Crew!

Day 7: Trying Your Hardest?

Yes, you run.

Sure…you’re getting a few strength days done here and there…

Maybe you’re kinda watching your diet a little…sometimes…

But are you really trying your hardest?

Are you doing everything you can do to reach your goals? Are you hitting each day as hard as you can? Are you making healthy eating choices and putting in the real work when it comes to your running and strength training?

If not…don’t complain about not hitting that goal time you want. Don’t complain about not being able to get through that long run. Don’t complain about not seeing the weight come off.

You might not be the strongest or the fastest…but if you’re trying your hardest, you will reach your goals. Be honest with yourself….are you really giving it your all?

Day 6 exercises: 2 sets of 10 – Arms & Back

****Click here for how to videos****

Push Ups
Hammer Curls
Monkey Arms
Plank – Your Choice (:30 2X)

Remember that Hammer Curls can be just the arm movement as Scott Herman shows us in our how to videos, or you can step it up and try sprinter Tyson Gray’s Swinging Hammer Curls.

Bonus: #PlanksForRunners – We all know how great planks are for our whole body…and this plank workout is perfect for Arm and Back day. Will you try your hardest today and go the extra mile to get the strong arms and back you need to run stronger?

2 sets….GETTT ITTT!! 🙂

It’s easy to work hard when you feel good….but do you try your hardest when you don’t feel like it?

This choice is what separates those who reach their goals and those who are disappointed when they fall short.

How hard will you work today?

Day 6: I Like Strong Glutes…

We know the core (hips, transverse abdominis, lower back) are important for preventing running injuries, but without exercises to strengthen your hips, glutes and hamstrings, your body will break down.

We must learn how to engage our glutes when running to run faster and more efficiently.

It’s true that some of the power in the running stride comes from your quads and calves, but the reality is that the quads and calves play only a minor role in your ability to generate a powerful stride compared to the hips, hamstrings and glutes.

How strong are your hips, glutes, and hamstrings? Don’t ignore the power these parts of our legs have an our ability to run faster and stronger!

Day 6 exercises: 2 sets of 10

****Click here for how to videos****

One Legged Bridge
Side Lunges
Side Lying Leg Raises
Plank – Your Choice (:30 2X)

Familiar with theses exercises and feeling good after 2 sets? Throw in one more round to feel the burn and make it count!

Bonus: #BalanceAndReach – Balance and Reach is an exercise brought to us a few months ago by our very ow Jennifer Moro-Ortiz. It’s a great exercise for hip stability and strength. If you’re doing it right…you’ll also feel it in your butt too. Use those glutes and hips to keep yourself balanced and to move your legs back and forth smoothly. Click here to watch the video and see how it’s done. Work through 2 sets of 10 on each side.

Speed Work: Seeing so many of us racing 5Ks yesterday, I thought it would be a cool idea to find out where your 5K pace stands so you have a way to gage your pace for other speed work. If you raced a 5K or any distance yesterday or this past weekend…you’ve already done your speed work for the week….don’t add another “effort workout”.

If you didn’t race this weekend, perform your own 5K! Remember that the warm up is an essential part of doing your best 5K. Run at least a mile at a slow conversation pace. Jessica and I ran a 12 min mile to warm up before our 5K yesterday. Then we were able to pull out 3 9 min miles during the race. Without that warm up, we would’ve been dead on the course after mile 1.

It’s also important to run a short cool down afterwards. So when you’re done, slow it down and run another 1/2 to full mile at your conversation pace. All in all you should have 4-5 miles with this workout. Let us know how you did and write down your pace for future reference when we talk about speed work drills. This information will help you determine how fast your interval sprints should be. More to come on that later…

Ready for a great Tuesday? Remember….we need strong, stable muscles in every part of our legs to get the speed and stability we want during our key races. Skipping leg day because you feel that you get enough strength from just running is a bad idea….

Get to work and fire up those legs Crew! 🙂

Day 5: Labor of Love

Labor Day is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

For most of us, it also means a day off work and the end to our summer, but today we’re giving it yet another meaning…

Let’s dedicate this Labor Day to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of ourselves…our strength, our prosperity, our well-being.

Running gives us strength, allows us to be prosperous in other areas of our lives, and is a positive force in our well being. One of our many Labors of Love….Running!

Before other festivities, take some time today to focus on your strength, your prosperity, and your well-being. It won’t take long…love yourself!

Day 5 exercises: 2 sets of 10 (Abs & Shoulders)

****Click here to how to videos****

Mountain Climbers
Kettle Ball / Dumbbell Swings
Shoulder Presses
Plank -Your Choice (:30 2X)

Bonus: Go for a Run and foster your love of our sport! – Doesn’t have to be long or laborious…can just be a mile. It can be a slow jog for active recovery after your long run or a walk with purpose. Get out and show our sport some love. 🙂

Days 3 & 4: Preparing for Extraordinary

Might just be an ordinary training day…but every run is another step towards that extraordinary moment when you reach your goals.

We’re all in different places in our training….so whether you’ve got 3 miles or 20 miles…it’s your long run. Own it. Give it all you’ve got. Remember that your choice to keep going in that moment when you want to quit may be the difference between reaching those goals…or falling short.

Don’t stop until you finish what you started.

Day 4: Long Run + 7 Key Stretches for Runners + Plank – Your choice (:30 2X)

You just completed more miles than you’ve run the rest of the week combined. You’re tired. You just want to go home, take a hot shower, and sit down. Of course, we all want that after our long run. Some of us do exactly that.

Others, the ones more likely to actually make it uninjured to the race they’re training for, take the extra ten minutes and stretch before sitting down. Stretching probably sounds as appealing as applying hydrogen peroxide to your burst blister, but it’s just as helpful for a clean outcome. If you’ve already dedicated hours to your run, what’s ten more minutes that will help work some lactic acid out of your poor tired muscles and reduce soreness later? Plus…it will feel good, I promise. Click here for 7 stretches that will have you feeling pretty close to normal tomorrow.

Day 5: Arms & Back – 2 sets of 10

****Click here for how to videos****

Burpees
Bicep Curls 21s
Wide Rows
Plank – Your Choice (:30 2X)

Bonus: #LowerBackWorkout

A healthy back is as important to your running as fit legs. According to Runner’s World, “If your back muscles aren’t strong, they’ll tend to fatigue faster, taking energy away from other muscles, and changing your stride, which can lead to injury.”

This lower back workout helps to reduce pain, tension, stiffness, and soreness….all of which will feel very good after our long runs this weekend.

Wonderful, fulfilling exhaustion… Want that amazing feeling?

Better be in it for the long run!
