Hi Folks,
A bit late posting workouts for this week; I’ll be updating with training tips during this week. My workouts are designed to build a foundation for any sport or activity, balance your body development and keep you injury proof. When you’ve built a strong basic foundation you can then take the next step of focusing on your sport or general conditioning – with more success.
General Physical Preparedness (GPP): “General Physical Preparedness gives the athlete the ability to excel in whatever specialized training they take on. The basic lesson of GPP is that, before you get strong in any specific way, you must be generally be strong in every way. An athlete who is dedicated to a GPP styule of training will find themselves in good shape, with generally good endurance, generally good joint mobility, generally good coordination and so forth. They will be more well rounded and have the foundation required to excell in most any sport without necessarily having done the specific activities associated with the sport.”
11/1/22 TUESDAY. TEMPO . After your warm-up run get in a 8′ tempo (3′ easy jog) – 6′ (2′) – 8′ – to finish of run. The idea is to work up to the classic 20 minutes of Tempo running at 10K, 10M or even half marathon race pace.
