Here’s what I am going to do, today. Fitness for today, 2/6/2017 is focusing on your ability to tackle mid distance endurance and sustain a difficult effort. Mental resiliency training starts with tough efforts.
Training:
Head to the gym and do not leave until you’ve done 100 Pull-ups with good form/ 150 Dips / 100 Push-ups (20x after each dip round).
Then, Run 6 miles – the 1st, 3rd and 4th miles will be broken into 800m Strides – that means not a sprint but as hard as you can reasonably maintain.
6-mile run:
1st Mile – Stride 800m (.5 mile) then, rest of 1st mile – conversational pace, maintain your warmth and get comfortable.
2 -3: Regular pace, too fast to talk but slow enough to have your breath.
3rd mile – 800m Stride then, 800m Run.
4th mile – 800m Stride, then resume pace.
5 – 6 – same as mile 2 -3.
