Most of the runners were middle-distance types. Their times improved a lot doing this type of work.<br /><br />I'd say all this is good if you can fit it within the weekly training and it doesn't wear you out (if you recover well).Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668199593986982895.post-59651642948465968302010-01-06T17:32:17.859-08:002010-01-06T17:32:17.859-08:00cappp--Logistics are tricky with this one.

We ran the 3:00 bouts as an out-and-back so we would end up in the same place for the exercises. It could also be done in a gym, but that didn't seem fun to us. According to my coach, minimizing the transition time between the exercises and the running is key. We didn't pay particular attention to that, but I will in the future.Jaymeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680519617786773673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668199593986982895.post-26626823073055714142010-01-06T14:23:36.696-08:002010-01-06T14:23:36.696-08:00So are you doing this workout on the bike trail in...So are you doing this workout on the bike trail in the morning? where do you stop for the exercises?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964375051129833369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668199593986982895.post-88479816332271240892010-01-06T07:32:15.414-08:002010-01-06T07:32:15.414-08:00Thanks for all of your encouraging comments.
GB...Thanks for all of your encouraging comments. <br /><br />GB, I should have guessed that you are hard core enough to love something like a burpee:)<br /><br />Ewen, Seems like some coaches don't advocate for leg strength exercises. I've heard some say that running is all the workout your legs need. My coach gives them to me in abundance. While they make you pretty tired on top of all of the other training, they seem to pay off. Do you do leg strength training?<br /><br />GIM, Thanks! You could do this no problem, I'm quite sure.Jaymeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680519617786773673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668199593986982895.post-11209604067496352692010-01-06T07:16:22.726-08:002010-01-06T07:16:22.726-08:00Wow, I'm utterly impressed!
