The Workout:
First, warm up. Run/jog half a mile, then go through some dynamic stretching. Now for some sprints: - Sprint 100m, 6 times, allowing 30 sec to recover. Make sure to walk for a few seconds to catch your breath after each sprint before stopping movement of your legs entirely. - Sprint 50 m, 6 times, allowing 30 s recovery between each sprint. Stadium run circuit: Run 2 laps* and then complete a bodyweight exercise (listed below) for 30 seconds. Once you have completed the exercise, immediately begin running another 2 laps, after which you will complete the next exercise. Continue until you have done each exercise. If you want a longer workout, you can complete the circuit twice. Round 1: Burpees Round 2: Air squats Round 3: Sit ups Round 4: Push ups Round 5: Jump rope *If you are in a stadium, you can run up and down the steps twice instead of 2 laps. You're done, and you crushed it. Cool down time. Run half mile followed by static stretching.
