W2/D1-Long WU & Easy 30

Let's start the week off right by assessing how our bodies are feeling. You'll begin with a long warm-up filled with dynamic stretches. These stretches will show you any tightness and loosen you up for the week ahead, so take your time and enjoy each exercise; this is a great way to give back to your body. After your stretching warm-up, you will do an easy 30 minute run. This run can be done BELOW your aerobic heart rate or just at it. The key for today's run is to shake out the legs and continue feeling out any areas where you might need to spend more time stretching or foam rolling. This is how we stay on top of injuries BEFORE they happen. Today's workout should not feel stressful or laborious in any way but you are putting in the effort to make sure your body is primed and ready for tomorrow's workout. Beginner- 30 minutes of easy running (take walk breaks as needed) Intermediate- 30 minutes of easy running- don't go past your aerobic heart rate zone. Advanced- 30-40 minutes of easy aerobic running; aim for a pace UNDER your aerobic heart rate zone- keep this light and fun. AFTER the run, if you have access to a foam roller, massage ball, or massage stick then you will take 5 minutes to roll out any areas that felt tight. Don't overlook your lower back and glutes. Stay on top of your hydration today and eat whole, healthy foods to continue fueling your machine!
