Athlete Notes: You’re welcome … 🙂 You get to flush out your legs today by doing some longer run pieces paired with alternating dumbbell snatches. For all your runners out there this workout is for you! If you are confident with your running then you can push your 800 meter pace and get right onto your dumbbell snatches. Your hamstrings will feel the brunt of this workout (well … your lungs too) so on rounds 2 and 3 ease into your 800 meter pace. For those of you not confident with maintaining a consistent pace on your runs, try running your first 800 meters at a comfortable pace and almost ease into your stride. On rounds two and three you should be able to push a little more on your runs. Here is the mantra for you today: Relaxed Running = Efficient Running. If you can relax your body, mind and breathe then your runs will be more efficient and, most likely, at a faster pace! Envision yourself floating as you run effortlessly your 800 meter loop, keeping the mind relaxed. You will be surprised by how good your run will feel! I am speaking from experience here as I am personally not a strong runner but when I focus on staying relaxed mentally and physically during my runs I ALWAYS run better. Try that in todays session!
