Cardio #2

When:Mon, Mar 26, 2012, 12:00am - 12:00am

Details:

Intervals for 45 minutes. Warm up & stretch first. Then on the run change speeds from 50% effort to 90% effort on a trail, on a track or around a field or through a mountain meadow. Go for 45 minutes without stopping. Pick a point in the distance for your 90% effort pace and run to it. The goal is to elevate your heart rate during the 90% effort pace and let it almost recover during the 50% effort pace. Do more than just jog the entire workout. Cool down and stretch again.

Jogging = Both feet are on the ground at the same time at some point as someone trudges along.  Running = Fast enough pace that only one foot is on the ground at a time as someone covers ground while running along. Can also think of running as involving a longer stride than jogging. A 75% Pace should result in both feet off the ground during each stride of the run.

Recovery - Eat a post workout recovery snack or meal with good protein 30 to 45 minutes after your workout.
