    • Speed/Efficiency
    • 20
    • 20' run with 6x30" strides. These are best if done on a slight downhill on a dirt path. Warm up for at least 10' before the first stride. For your recovery, you can walk back to the starting point. Strides are quick bursts that are as fast as 5k pace. You are looking to get in about 45 left foot strikes per 26-28". Stretch when done and add in Core 1, 2 or 3.

    • Ride on a flat course or spin bike. Focus on keeping your pedal stroke smooth and learning to be 'light' on the pedals for the first 10'. Then you are going to put the bike in a bigger gear or resistance mode and spin at a lower, harder cadence - do this 2 x 15' - you can recover for 5' between 10' hard efforts. Once you have finished that, go back to spinning easier. Keep HR in Zone 1-2.
