Track Workout

The weather is starting to feel like fall, and I pretty much love it! It helps that with the cooler weather comes not having to leave for a longer run so early so it doesn't get so hot. A track is a great place to get a solid workout in, and a workout that you can mix up to make it your own. And that often means you won't get bored, which some people do when they are just out running. So head to your nearest track and try this out! (be sure to be smart about what your body can handle and don't do more than you are ready for - and always modify when necessary!)


Warm-Up:
400 meter - light jog
100 meter - high knees
