Heres tonights HIIT Crosstraining workout in my own handwriting. You guys are going to see a lot of these because as a runner you just can’t run. Believe me, I learned this the hard way. For about a year, 90% of the time all of my workouts were runs. My body was stiff and I was losing fitness in other areas.
So I’ve Figured Out Two Things From Experience:
- Stretch, stretch and finally stretch!
- Crosstraining is almost as important as your runs.
So while this blog is primarily about our run experience we are going to be sharing with you all the whole experience of us getting into shape and building up our running endurance. Because here very soon we will begin training or our next half-marathon. Followed by full-marathon training. So be on the lookout for it!
Tonight HIIT workout!
You know in case my handwriting can’t be read very well.
The plan is for 1 min each times 2 rounds!
- Sumo Squats
- Leg Lifts
- Push-Ups
- Russian Twists
- Tricep Extensions (Usually use a 5-10lbs of weight)
- Burpees
- Butt Kicks
Yes, yes I know that Burpees are pretty much the devil of most workouts but, I kid you not. THEY WORK!
I fully believe they do, and they work for so many muscle groups at one time. After this HIIT workout it is skate time, where we will be working on tons of agility and endurance workouts.
If you are a runner, what do you do for cross-training?
