Pyramid Outdoor Run
Hey friends!
How is everyone holding up with everything that is going on?
If you don’t know, my full time job is being a personal trainer + group fitness instructor + nutrition coach. With today’s current events, my studio has closed it’s doors, leaving my clients without a place to workout. Luckily, the Philly fitness community has joined their efforts to lead free workouts at local parks + on social media. It’s makes my heart full seeing everyone band together to get us through this time + by having the ability to move will make things that much better.
I have seen so many people getting outside with the lovely Spring weather we have been having for walks + runs. This past Wednesday, I tried out this pyramid style run + it was fire. I wanted to share that run with you all to give it a try to change up your routine. This could also be completed on a treadmill. All you need is for to lace up your sneaks + have a timer.
This Outdoor Run is about 35 minutes + roughly about 4 miles. You will start with a 5 minute at a comfortable pace. I have included heart rate (HR) ranges if you track that as well as effort levels. Effort levels are RPE, rate of perceived exertion, to use as your pace goals. Now, if you are a complete beginner + thinking what the what?!? Don’t worry, just get out there + run + if you feel comfortable with picking up the pace a pinch, go for it. But most of all, go with how you are feeling. You know your body better than I.
