This Week's Training

First, CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON ATTACKPOINT!

Watch for Friday postings this summer, for the following week's training plan.

The goal of this week's training is to ease back into running after some time off (for the veterans) or to get started with some basic fitness (for the rookies). The recommendation is as follows:

Advanced
4 days of running (2 of 30-40 minutes; 2 of 45-50 minutes); 2 of the days should be followed by 6-8 strides
2-3 days of X-training (biking, blading, swimming, basketball, soccer or whatever)
2 days of core!

Intermediate
3-4 days of running (2-3 of 25-30 minutes; 1-2 of 35-45 minutes); 2 of the days should be followed by 6 strides
2-3 days of X-training (biking, blading, swimming, basketball, soccer or whatever)
2 days of core!

Beginner
3 days of running (20-30 minutes; 2 of the days should be followed by 4-6 strides
2-3 days of X-training (biking, blading, swimming, basketball, soccer or whatever)
2 days of core!

If you don't know what core means, watch for a future article that covers core exercises in detail. For now, do some crunches and push-ups.
