BOSTON BABY!!

On the eve of my departure for Boston I want to leave you with a challenge of your own while I am away! Below is a workout that will get you running, huffing and puffing right along with me! Enjoy, push yourselves and have fun!

Running Power Hour!
Hill Repeats with Bonus
Find a good size hill to conquer (those of you in a flat area you can use a treadmill or if the weather turns bad - no excuses, use the treadmill!!)

Warm up with a 10 min jog or brisk walk
Run hill 3X at a sprint - recover on the downhill
25 pushups
Run hill 3X at a sprint - recover on the downhill
25 pushups
Run hill 3X at a sprint - recover on the downhill
25 pushups
Run/Jog/Brisk Walk 1 mile
25 pushups
Cool down with 10 min jog or walk
Don't forget to stretch!!

Remember, you can always modify any workout. This one too tough? Run the hill 1X and then do pushups. Not hard enough? Run the hill 4X and do 50 pushups! Always do what YOU can do - you know your body better than anybody and it's limitations. When you compete with yourself, you always win!! :) Have fun and I can't wait to hear how you liked it!!
Run On!!
