Extended Suicides

This workout is NOT for those who want a refreshing Spring run! These are called "Suicides" for a reason. This workout builds muscle because it is intense and fairly short bursts. It is great for injury prevention because you are running in many different directions and changing pressure points all over your run stance.

Beginner Distance for each Move is 50 meters
Intermediate Distance for each Move is 100 meters
Advanced Distance for each Move is 200 meters

Warmup: 15 minute slow jog

TRY TO COMPLETE 4 ROUNDS:

1. Sprint - 50 meters (or desired level)

2. Walk or jog back to start

3. Run Backwards - 50 meters

4. Walk or jog back to start

5. Side step (gallop) with Right Foot Leading - 50 meters

6. Walk or jog back to start

7. Side Step (gallop) with Left Foot Leading - 50 meters

8. Walk or jog back to start

9. Sprint - 50 meters

10. Walk or jog back to start

REPEAT ENTIRE SEQUENCE 3 MORE TIMES.

STRETCH. THEN GO HOME!
