Off Season Training ~ Fall/Winter Running

The weather demands your running attention... time to head out!!! 

Try out these ~40-45min/workout, notice again, just like the swim & bike workouts, we are basing workouts on perception of effort, let loose a little bit and enjoy the freedom of simple running. 

If running is your weakness, build up to at least 3-4x/week. Wanna step it up a notch, brick it with weights.

Bonus if your week allows, grab some friends and enjoy some good convo over an easy zone 2/ low Training Pace workout on the weekends.

(Quick definition of a fartlek: short, sweet pace changes without specific distance or speed goals, rather this workout should emphasize and encourage a psychological and positive training experience)
