CherokeeChief Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 What workout have you had the most fun running? This workout may not be the toughest or the best to improve your conditioning, just the most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionfans50 Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Pool workouts can be fun, ive only done one as a team but you can do pool workouts on your own whenever there is a pool or some deep body of water available. You can just get to where you are waist deep and do some hard sprints back and forth, thatll get your legs moving. And also, get in the deep end and tread water, moving your legs in your normal running motion for as long as you can, you can try to go a total of 12 min or so, that would be a normal 3 miles, considering the resistance of the water. In b/t your actually working out, play water volleyball or whatever you want. Believe it or not, this is a great workout anyways cuz the resistance of water is so powerful that whether you are just swimming or working out in your pool, you are getting your legs stronger. Another idea would be inviting your whole CC or Track team over and just having fun swimming and eating and hanging out together. This is great for bonding with each other. Hope this was helpful.

CherokeeChief Posted July 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 I'll add another to keep us going. One of my favorites is catch-the-leader or an Indian Run. A solid line of runners about 5 meters apart, or further if you want, take turns with the last person in line catching the leader. This is a great fartlek and a great workout. All of the runners need to be in similar condition and it's best if the line doesn't slow too dramatically. We did it for 10 miles once last summer. It was fun, just a change of pace, and it's a tremendous workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
