Hey Running Friends!

Today is Week 8 of the RRCA Start to Run program! If you are joining in, we will be warming up for 5 minutes. Then go into a 8 minute run and then 2 minute walk. Last will be a 5 minute cool down. New? Check out my RRCA Intro.

Do this run 3 or 4 more times this week.  If you are currently running 3 times a week, try 4.  If you've upped to 4 times in the past few weeks, try 5. The interval repeat is 3 times..so 8 min run /2 min walk 3 times with a 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down.

If this is a new thing for you, make sure you have clearance from your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

I am talking about goal setting and doing the SMART way in this episode.

For our final run of 30 minutes in 2 weeks,  we will be doing that together live. That workout will be on March 14 at 1pm EST.

Strength train 2x- 10 minutes each time:

Put together a 5 minute Warm Up:
