Running Program; Week 1  (to be added in by athletes when they can – these will be programmed 3x per week. Per coach Steve, we are starting with an adaptation phase. Simply time duration on you feet. Please see the key notes at bottom of the page)

Day 1:

Warm up: Start with walking for 3 minutes. Then a combination of walking and skipping for 5 minutes.  This is a dynamic warm up.  Then follow with some 10-20 seconds repeats of drills: heel to butt, high knees.  
Main Set: 3 x 5 minutes of running while including the focus points.  Take a 90 second rest in between(if your form starts to fall apart, slow down and allow yourself to rest and then start again)
Cool Down: Mobility Work
Day 2:

Same warm Up

Main Set: 3 x 6 minutes, ri 90 seconds

Cool Down
Day 3:

Same warm Up

Main Set: 3 x 7 minutes, ri 90 seconds

***Notes from Coach Steve

Some Key Points from Coach Steve regarding the start of this weeks running work. 3 x add on will be posted bottom of blog each each day. Plug in when you can, if you can. (for those who “can”)


These are key points that should always be included during every run session.


1. The next 4-5 weeks all running will ideally be completed on grass or another soft type surface ie: sand, beach, trails.


2. The 1st part of the program is the adaptation phase. This allows the body to become used to easy running before we move to intensity. During this phase running will be all based on duration – not distance completed
3. Two critical elements: Run with a shorter stride length and higher stride rate. Rate can be tracked by counting right foot strikes in 15 seconds, then multiply by 4. The goal is 100 plus. The less ground contact you have, the more efficient and fast you will run. You also start to eliminate heel striking and start landing mid-foot. This will take time. Some mind tips: think about running on hot coals, your feet land under you and not in front, think mid foot and then driving through the ball and big toe.(More on this August 30)


4. Upper body is relaxed – push the hips slightly forward – shoulders relaxed and down
5. Arms are bent(90 degree angle), elbows drive back – not forward. Hands are slightly cupped like holding a roll of pennies – thumbs on top – palms are facing each other rather then tipped down or up.


6. Shoes ideally have no forefoot drop. This means the sole is uniform thickness from heel to toe. Reebok Nano’s are out.(More on shoes August 30)



7. During the first phase run with a partner – run right behind them and switch around every few minutes. This drill allows the person behind to focus on shortening up their stride to the front.
8. Heel striking means you are over striding – something you want to avoid by moving the foot strike closer to the body
