Track Workout

Last Saturday my normal 6:30 am basketball was cancelled, so I headed to the track to do a track work-out. I actually had quite a bit of time before I was going to head over to a sale at a nearby consignment shop, so I decided to do three track workouts together. What a great workout I got in!! It felt good, and I was sore for a couple of days afterward. Here are the workouts I did. I got them from a personal trainer I follow on Facebook, The Bertinator. She has her own website and blog, and I like to incorporate some of her workouts in with my own.

Workout 1
Warm-up 1 lap
1 mile for time
5 - 100 meter sprints
1 lap jog curves, side shuffle burpee on straightaways (do a burpee, then a side shuffle, burpee, side shuffle, ...)
Cool down 1 lap

Workout 2
Warm-up 1 lap
1 lap sprint straights; jog curves
1 lap lunge straights; jog curves
1 lap power skipping straights; jog curve
1 lap travel burpee straights (same as above); jog curve
1 cool down lap

Workout 3
Run 1 minute
10 mountain climbers
Run 1 minute
10 squat kicks
Run 1 minute
10 Tricep Push-Ups
Run 1 minute
10 burpees with a push up
Run 1 minute
10 walking lunges
Run 1 minute
10 opposite elbow/opposite knee plank
Run 1 minute
10 jumping jacks
Run 1 minute

This took me about an hour and 15 minutes to do. I wore my Garmin and ended up doing 5 and a half miles around the track, but of course my speed decreased when I started doing lunges and burpees. One thing was the track tore up my hands doing the traveling burpee, so by the second lap of that I put my hands in the grass on the field and my feet on the track. That felt a lot better, and I should have started with that. Overall, a great workout though.
