Varying
your workouts is the equivalent to eating different foods for every
meal. Just as your body craves nourishment from many different food
groups, all the muscles in your body need to be "fed" with exercise. If
you always do the same run there will be many parts of your body that
will become “starved” for conditioning. Therefore, I suggest that you
try to provide your body with runs that require it to use different
muscle groups.
Here are a few different types of runs to add to your weekly mix:
-
Hilly run (helps you to work your upper body)
-
Trail run (works your ankles and lateral muscles)
-
Tempo run (Start slower and finish faster…makes for a great cardio workout!)
-
Intervals (helps develop your leg speed, upper body, and cardio fitness)
-
Long run (LSD: Long Slow Distance builds aerobic capacity)
-
Fun run (Enjoy yourself…you deserve it)
-
Group runs (build your social skills)
-
Form run (Always a great time to work on improving your bio-mechanics)
If you maintain a 4-5 day running schedule, every run should be
different. One basic rule to follow is to not schedule back-to-back
difficult runs. Your body will do much better if you alternate easy and
hard runs. Hard runs are for building your strength and cardiovascular
conditioning, while easy runs are for recovering, both mentally and
physically, and for building aerobic capacity.
