Week 2 focus is to start getting back into the swing of things for those coming off the rest and regeneration period. For those in their second week, we want to build on what you did last week and start gradually increasing the volume. I won't get into full detail here, but there are 3 different energy systems that the body uses. (ATP, Anaerobic, and Aerobic). Running a 5K is 97% AEROBIC, so that is where our primary focus is. The best way to improve the aerobic system is to increase time spent in an aerobic state. We start building that up a little bit this week. Remember, the times listed in workout notes are a suggestion, for how you could break down the time spent running. New folks: I truly am not worried about how far you are actually running during these few weeks, but I do want to know about how far you go during that time. Like, how many miles do you get in a 20 minute run, or a 30 minute run, etc.
