1) Stretch.
2) Find a desk or other piece of furniture on wheels weighing about 60 lbs.
3) Attach a small parachute to the furniture.
4) Go outside and push the furniture/parachute around your neighborhood while running for 3-4 miles.
Okay, so actually I just attempted to run with my kids in the double jogger with the sun visor up. I think they may be too heavy for the double jogger because it sucked. About a mile into it, I really felt like making them get out and walk. From now on the jogger is strictly for walks.
K, actually, I really do have a new workout. Mickele emailed me a treadmill workout a couple days ago that I tried out yesterday and it was GREAT. Really helped make the time go by so much faster since most of the time you are adjusting the speed of your treadmill; it sort of makes you forget your running (remember I said "sort of"). She probably emailed most of you this workout as well, but for anyone who missed it, I just thought I'd post it here:
Minutes.............................. Speed/MPH......When your in better shape
0-5………………………..3.5....................4.5
5-8………………………..4.0....................5.0
8-9………………………..6.0....................6.5
9-12………………………4.0....................5.0
12-13……………………..6.0....................6.5
13-16……………………..4.0....................5.0
16-17……………………..6.0....................6.5
17-20……………………..4.0....................5.0
20-22……………………..6.5....................7.0
22-25……….…………….4.0....................5.0
25-27……….…………….6.5....................7.0
27-30……….…………….4.0....................5.0
30-32……….…………….6.5....................7.0
32-35……….…………….4.0....................5.0
35-38……….…………….6.5....................7.0
38-41……….…………….4.0....................5.0
41-44……….…………….7.0....................7.5
44-47……….…………….4.0....................5.0
47-50……….…………….7.5....................8.0/8.5
50-53……….…………….4.5....................5.5
53-56……….…………….7.5....................8.0
56-60……….…………….4.5....................5.5
60-65……….…………….3.5....................4.5
When I did it, I only went for 40 minutes so I just followed it up to that point which worked out well since that's when the speed jumps up anyways.
Enjoy and Thanks Mickele for sending me this! :)
Hahaha JaNeal, I can totally see you running outside with a desk and parachute following behind. Funny stuff!
ReplyDeleteoh ya I did that workout on the treadmill and I did the harder one and holly cow it kicked my butt but I made it through the whole thing and by the end I wanted to die. When I got up to the 8.0 miles and hour I was only able to do it for a minute and then had to back it down to 7.0 for the other 2 minutes anyways I definitley recommend everyone try this out it for sure makes the time go by way fast and its a good way to get 6.2 miles in without realizing you just ran that far.
