Stimulus:
We’re looking to create a consistent cardio pace at around 60% of our total capacity. We’re looking for consistency and to spend time in a longer time domain after two very short workouts yesterday. Essentially a flush. If you don’t workout yesterday use this to push the tempo yet still stay within your realm. This is a massive pacing piece.
Strategy:
Let’s break this workout down into thirds. The first ten minutes, the second ten minutes and the final ten minutes. In the first ten minutes the initial 3-7 minutes are the easiest. You go through a few different transitions and it feels like you can hold that pace forever. Minutes 7-15 is where if you paced to fast you’ll fall off the cliff. Pick a pace for the first ten minutes that allows you to increase in speed for minutes 10-20. Allow the final 20-30 minutes to be faster or hold the same pace. The 10-20 minutes you will go through another tough transition from 15-22 minutes questioning if the pace is too fast. If you picked the correct pace you should be able to sustain it and or pick up the pace. The last 22-30 Minutes you’re fighting to hold that same pace. You’re staying present with each and every minute. You’re not worried about the next minute. The only thing you see is the current task at hand. Focus on just getting started within the minute. You will be doing today’s workout with no music. Focus on the sound of your own breath, your pacing and your cadence during this workout. It is a long 30 minutes that you need to be mindful and present for as you are outside. Enjoy and take advantage of this beautifully elegant and simple 30 minute mover.
