Myrtl Workout for Friday

Here are the exercises and run we did today. If you can get to the gym to lift, please remember to focus on form rather than trying to do more weight than you can.

I will see everyone Saturday @ 7:30 @ Shark River Park  (Schoolhouse Road entrance) for our long run. See https://www.monmouthcountyparks.com/ for directions.

3 x 8 - Lat pull down, Tricep extensions, walking lunges
3 x 30 second - Fast arms,
3 x 6 - Box Jumps (make should step down, not jump off)
3 x 10 -Step ups ( 5 on each leg)

Freshman/Newcomers - 30 minute progression run starting slowly and getting faster every 6 minutes.
All returners - 35- 40 minute progression run starting slowly and getting faster every 7 minutes.
All should do 1 minute intervals of core and ab routine.

Friday
All should started with these Myrtl Exercises demonstrated in the video below that help strengthen our hips.



Freshman/Newcomers - 30 minute recovery
All returners - 40 minute recovery

All should do 4 strides (2 backward) and 1 minute interval of core and ab routine.

Tip of the day: Shorten your running stride: Doing this while increasing your footstrike cadence may help you generate better stride mechanics because you’ll be putting a lot less load on your feet, shins, knees, and on up the kinetic chain. Count your footstrikes on one side for 1 minute. A good number is 85 to 90 strikes of one foot per minute.
