Today's Training!!

What is your body saying to you today after yesterday's training session?  If you are sore go for a walk, stretch, yoga, some foam roller, ride a bike or anything else you feel you are capable of doing.  Just don't sit around thinking the best thing to do is rest and relax.   Your body needs some movement and blood to circulate in order to repair the damage that yesterday's training did.  Soreness after a training session is your muscle responding to being broken down.  So remember, relaxing and not being active at all will just prolong the soreness.
If you are ready for another day of training, then here we go.  Today we are sticking with interval walking or running.  So after a brief warm-up where you break a good sweat, pick a distance that you would like to speed walk or run.  Once you complete that distance slow your walk down or turn your run into a walk and complete that same distance at the slower pace.  Once that distance is reached return to the speed walk or run for the same distance again.  Continue going back and forth between the speed walk/run and slow walk for as long as you want.
Example:  After a 10 minute warm-up I decide to do the above interval for 15 minutes.  The training will be taking place in a city environment so I will speed walk one block then slow walk the next.  I will go back and forth for the whole 15 minutes.  After, I will find a nice spot and stretch for five minutes.

Keep working towards a better you.
