I wasn't going to run at all this week but I met up with Steve O. at the gym and he took me through a "boot camp" type workout for my legs. We just jogged on all the running parts. It was more for a warm-up, and recovery during the workout. My legs just took beat down Monday night RAW style. We did squats, lunges, and that kind of stuff with low weights and high rep's. Overall a great workout and more strenuous than if I'd gone out for a 14 mile run. It's a good thing I'm not running this week because tomorrow I won't be able to walk I'll be so sore. I'd like to condition my legs into doing something like this once a week for the rest of the winter. I could see big boosts in speed from a workout like this if done along side mid- high mileage running. |
