1 mile warm-up
Stop and do:
—20 squats with body weight
—Plank (hold for 30-60 seconds)
—20 lunges with body weight (1o on each leg)
—10 push-ups (aim for on toes, drop to knees if necessary)
Run 1 mile at moderate pace
Repeat strength circuit
etc...
1 mile cool down
Gotten from the Another Mother Runner blog. I think this would work really well in my neighborhood because I have a loop that I could start and end in the park where I could do the strength. And this would fit really well with my current "inability" to run without some breaks. I could at least maximize the breaks!! I think I'll try this on my next run.
Speaking of which, 2 runs down already this week, trying to really give myself the best chance at a 3 run week. I've been running by songs, lately. Monday was walk 1 to warm-up, run 3, walk 1, run 3, walk 1 to cool down. This morning I did run 1 (hard)/walk 1 and repeated for 30 minutes. At some point I'm going to just need to buck-up and run continuously, which I know in my head I can do, but I'm letting myself ease into things, and I'm making myself feel ok about it. I'm proud just to be getting out there, since it means a loss of precious, precious sleep while the baby sleeps.
