So this Sunday at 8:30am I'll be running my fifth and final half marathon of the year, thus accomplishing my 2010 goal of running all five NYRR 5-Borough Half Marathons. A few years ago I couldn't even run two miles without knee pain, but today I run pain free and HAPPY due to Pose running and my Vibram Five Fingers.
Today's Quick Workout Of the Day is just a run outside. You'll be doing a fartlek (tee hee), which is a combination of anaerobic and aerobic exercise. Basically you'll be running at your normal pace, then picking up the pace to a sprint for a short time, then back down to normal pace. It will give you a better workout than just running at one average pace, and it will actually make you a faster runner overall. Bring a stopwatch and give it a go - let me know how it worked out for you!
QWOD for Saturday or Sunday, October 9th or 10th
