1. Main Workout refer to program for planned run times and intensity.
Swim 1x /week
Bike 3-4x’s/ week (minimum 65-70km if poor weather)
Run 2-3x’s/week (minimum 1 tempo, 1 interval, 1long run 15-18km)
Warm-up
8-10 min run (ideally these should be in 5 min segments if enough time). To be used on continuous run days to
ensure a step wise approach to reach your intended exercise heart rate and /or intensity.
2 Part warm-up (8min total). First 4min begin with slower pace medium easy/medium. In the second 4
minutes, gradually increase pace up to or very near to your desired pace of the prescribed workout (i.e. 20 min
tempo @ Swing or Fast). (Note: approximate pacing, we will fine tune with your feedback.) Use this warm-up
for interval sessions. Follow-up your 2 part warm-up with dynamic leg swings, flexibility exercises, “ABC’s”
prior to strides (see below).
Note: Try to include 8-10 strides over 80-100 meters once a week; strongly recommended prior to any interval
session. Increase intensity with each successive stride. Practice proper technique; these are not sprints.
Cool Down easy running approximately 8-10 min; general idea is to lower heart rate in a step wise manner.
2. Self Massage with foam roller 2x’s/week (10-15min): IT Band, Thighs, Glutes, Calves 10 reps/side
Rather than “trying to find more time”, enhance your level of energy to make the most effective use of your time.
