Running after a long day at work may seem like hard work, and sadly for some it often tends to either turn into a slow plod or even skipped all together.
Best Fitness Improvements
For best fitness results from running it is a good idea to do quality runs and avoid plodding all together. This means completing an interval based training session that will burn lots of calories AND help to raise your metabolism post training, so you burn more calories at rest following your workout.
Not only this but high intensity interval training will stress all the energy systems in the body and so result in better fitness. High intensity interval training can help you lose more fat too so gaining the triathlon physique that will make your race easier and more enjoyable, not to mention looking and feeling great!
My Halloween Workout
Around Halloween it is dark and scary after work, especially if you run in a poorly lit park, or next to a grave yard like I do! If this is the case consider yourself lucky as you will end up running faster and get more from your workout, especially if you’re afraid of the dark!
Try this:
- warm up with a jog, a few faster pickups and some dynamic stretches.
- 10x10reps fast running with 50sec rest
- 10x10reps MAX effort with 50sec rest
- cool down jog home and static stretches.
Afterwards Try Pumpkin soup:
- Nutritional soup that is nutrient dense and filling, a good source of fibre and tasty too!
- Fry onions
- Add chopped pumpkin
- Add nutmeg and cinnamon stick
- Add stock
- Boil the lot until tender
- Whizz it up! and add yogurt if you wish
- Serve with toasted pumpkin seeds.
