ON THE RUN: TRAINING FOR PEAK FITNESS – WEEK TWO

By Howard “Mad Max” Mullen

Moving On

OK, I see that you survived last week, so let’s kick it up a notch. By now, your body should be adapting to the running/cardio so let’s knock this final week out and do our first time trial. Here goes.

Week Two program

Day 8: 5-mile jog (8 km) (light run), then .5 mile run (.80 km) (faster pace).

Day 9: 2-mile run for time.

Day 10: 2-mile run at comfortable pace.

Day 11: 3-mile run.

Day 12: 8 x 200 meter sprints with 30 seconds rest between each.

Day 13: 6 x 200 meter sprints with 30 seconds rest between each.

Day 14: 8 x 100 meter sprints with 30 seconds rest between each.

This is a good workout to build a respectable running/cardio foundation on. On each day, work at your own pace and save energy some for the next day’s smoker. If you have a workout you would like to share feel free to post in the comments section.

Until next time—train hard, stay hard.

Yours,
Mad Max
