Day 1

Warm Up: Jog 400 meters. Dynamic stretching: toe touches, quad stretch, IT band stretch, marches.

Workout: 45 minute easy run on a trail through the woods. Nothing too hard, just a nice longrun for today to get you back into shape. Run at a pace that you are able to converse with your running partner without being too out of breath.

Post Workout: Dynamic stretching same as above. Core and abs: 45 seconds in plank position, 5 sets. 60 seconds doing ab exercise, 5 sets.

A great snack to eat after a workout is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich along with chocolate milk. This "meal" contains the correct ratio of carbs to protein to aid in recovery.

Specifics on the stretches and ab/core activities will be explained in a post tomorrow.  Good job completing Day 1 of the workout!

  2. Personally for me, as an ectomorph. I find eating enough is the hard part.

  3. Chocolate milk! n__n

    I find I don't do any stretching before runs.. This probably needs to be remedied.
