Today, I began my "3PLUS2" training program, currently modified to run a PR in the Ft. Worth Cowtown Marathon in February 09. I decided to use this training program as a way to minimize injury while improving my overall performance and speed. Prior to the start of this program, I completed am easy-run foundation of 15 to 20 miles per week to prepare for the more focused training. The program uses a coach and emphasizes cross training between runs consisting of Strides, Tempo, and Long runs. I'm also following the Chi Running technique, which I'm getting better at following. The cross training involves cycling and swimming. For the time being my cross training will consist of road cycling. Here is a copy of the workout completed today: - 10-20 min warm up run
- 12 x 400m (90 sec RI)
- 10 min cool down
