On the 11th Run Of Christmas...

2022/12/23

On the 11th Run Of Christmas... 11 accelerations @ 100 meters How it's done: Warm up for a mile or 10 minutes. You are going to run 100 meters at a time and then recover for a minute or so in between each. Know your body. If you haven't run fast in a while keep a governor on the top end pace. A football field is a great place for this but any straightaway will do. Start each effort like a plane taking off. By the time you are at the 50 meter mark you should be at the max speed you will go for

On the 10th Run of Christmas... We hope you are enjoying this challenge. The 10th run isn't necessarily hard but it is time consuming. Go for a double digit run OR go for your longest run. Go out and spend some time in the fresh air and have a good one! If your longest run to date is 5 miles we would suggest to not add more than a couple miles. Enjoy the relaxed pace and the effort you have put into this so far! Great work and see you tomorrow on the 11th day.

On the 9th Run Of Christmas... 90 minute power hike How it's done: Today we are going to the ultra roots. Being able to power hike for long periods of time is a huge skill for covering long distances. The goal today is to power hike for 90 minutes and trying to stick to as close to a 15 minute/mile pace as possible. That's it. No running allowed. Record how much distance you covered for retesting! It's tougher than it looks. Try not to default to just a walk. See you tomorrow for the

Becoming Ultra ·

2022/12/20

On the 8th Run Of Christmas... 8x400's How it's done: Warm up with a half mile at 70% effort. This is best done on a track. If you don't have access to a track then marking off the distance is ideal. You should be able to run without looking down too much(watch/phone) Run 400m, recover for 90 sec. Do this 8 times. The 400 is a tough 1-3.5 minutes for most of us. It's simple but it ain't easy. Be strict on recovery. The faster we run, the more efficient our form typically is so keep in mind

The 7th Run Of Christmas...

Becoming Ultra ·

2022/12/19

On the 7th Run Of Christmas... 7x3x10: How it's done: You are essentially doing 7 rounds of 10 minutes with the first 3 minutes of every set being all out. Round one is a warm up. The pace for the last 7 minutes can be an easy jog or walk. The reason there is so much recovery is that the 3 minutes needs to be really tough. If you want to do on a track or treadmill it is a good set for that. This is another good one to practice active recovery in long efforts. Think about running up a hill

On the 6th Run Of Christmas... A 60 minute effort at night(or in the dark) How it's done: Run for 60 minutes in the dark. If you live somewhere cold it is so hard to just get out there int he cold night or morning but WE can do it. Today is all about finding joy in running in a time or place you don't usually. Find a route with Christmas lights or a safe track. Be careful and bring a friend if you can. Finish up with hot chocolate or a coffee! Our comfort zone is meant to be pushed. You've

On the 5th Run Of Christmas... Run a 5k. Keeping this one simple so warm up for 5 minutes and go run a 5k The goal is to push yourself and see what you got! Many of you are going to justify the fact that you are sore, or tired, or don't like running fast and just go and get it done going through the motions. The challenge today is to not think of anything but putting a good effort in. You've got this. See you tomorrow for day 6!

2022/12/16

On the 4th Run Of Christmas... 4 Lunge Miles How it's done: You are going to do 20 lunges(10/leg) before every mile. Ideally you are doing step back lunges as they are easier to keep good form. The second your last lunge is complete you start running the next mile. 4 total miles and 80 total lunges This is a great set to learn how to run on fatigued legs. Think mountain efforts. We use sets like these for people training for mountain runs when they don't have access to mountains. See you tomorrow

2022/12/15

On the 3rd Run Of Christmas... 3 progressively faster mile repeats How it's done: Warm up with 5-10 minutes of movement. Get the HR up and prep that body for a tough set. Mile repeats are typically running a mile at a high effort with minimal recovery(2-3 minutes) For this set you will run a mile at 70% effort then recover for 2 minutes, run one at 80% with 2 minutes of recovery and then run one more at 90%. Most will do better running the first at effort then trying to speed up based on time for
