Stretch and roll:
10 – 20 minutes of stretching
tight muscles, increasing mobility, and bringing
blood flow to the parts of your body doing the most
work. You can find stretch bands and foam rollers at
any retail or sporting goods store.
Runs/Walks:
Find a comfortable pace that you
can maintain for the duration of the workout. Plan to
start in the morning to mimic race day conditions.
Cross-training:
Train by doing something that
you already enjoy. Hike, swim, bike, or dance for
the prescribed duration. Try to keep your heart rate
up for most of the training time. Be creative and
have fun!
Rest:
Don’t skip rest day. Recovery is an essential
part of a training program. If you need to move, opt
for an easy walk or stretch.
