FITMAS…. FITMAS Challenge…. On the 6th Day of FITMAS my coach gave me…. STRIDE INTO SPEED!
FITMAS Challenge: The Purpose of Strides: Strides are not just another run; they're a purposeful exercise designed to boost your speed and running efficiency.
Here's your mission: Run 20 Minutes at an Easy Pace: Maintain a Heart Rate Zone 2/Conversation Pace.
Strides:
-Five sets of quick/easy strides during the middle or end of your run.
-Each stride lasts about 20 seconds.
-Start at an easy pace, gradually increase speed, reach your 5K race pace, then slowly decelerate.
-Rest for 60-90 seconds between each stride.
Strides Are Not Sprints:
-The purpose is to improve speed and running economy.
-Train your body to run more relaxed and comfortable at your race pace.
-Ideal Setting:
-Look for a flat/level area or a slight decline, about 100m in length (soccer field or straight on a track).
Benefits of Strides:
-Bring blood into your working muscles.
-Wake up your legs.
-Prepare your mind for the race ahead.
-Strengthen fast-twitch muscle fibers.
-Improve running form.
🤝 Your Challenge:
-Stride into Speed with the described workout.
-Share your running experience with strides.
