Running & Triathlon Strength: Take 2

July 3, 2012 By Heather Blackmon

.

Did you enjoy last week’s multisport specific training session? If so, you’re going to today’s session to give you some variety in your muscular endurance training! If not, you should head back over to the first circuit and give it a try. It’s a killer, fun workout!

If not, you really should catch the multisport bug and join us on the dark side!! Seriously, it’s fun over here, even if I’m seriously lacking on the multisport events this year, it’s still my heart and I’m hoping to make time for at least one before the year is done!

No one like doing the same workout over and over, so this is a great workout to round out your first training cycle (Base or General Prep). It’s another workout designed to work all those sport specific muscles and get you ready to amp up your workout volume & intensity without injury. Did I mention increasing your strength and power?

Multisport2

If you’re a beginner, don’t be afraid to shorten this workout to 2 rounds. I know that I’ve had to modify some workouts in the intense 30 Day Ab Challenge from Amanda (Run To The Finish) and Susan (Strong Like Susan). So make you you work at your own pace and don’t overdo it!

In case any of these exercises are unfamiliar to you, check out these videos:

  • Step-ups (with or without dumbells)
  • Rows (dumbells or resistance band)
  • Hamstring Rollout (ball or TRX)
  • Plank
  • Bicep 21s
  • Monster Walks (with resistance band)
  • Dips (bench, chair, or bed)
  • Calf Raises (step or chair)

Remember that if you’re looking for some individual guidance, we’re always here to help you meet your goals with online coaching for runners or multisport athletes of all abilities!

********************

We’re in serious countdown mode for the move to Colorado around here. Kirk is an amazing packer and has been safely packing all of our belongings in boxes. Have I mentioned how lucky I am?!  The movers are coming on Friday, so it’s becoming really real. I’ve been having moments of sadness through the day as I remember how far I’m moving away from so many amazing people. I’m still incredibly excited about the opportunity, but it’s so sad to be leaving people behind. Can I just move all my friends to Colorado?! 😉

*******************

Questions for you:

  • Are you up for the challenge of a multisport race? Duathlon, Triathlon, what’s next on your list?
  • For all my friends taking the 30 Day Ab Challenge – are you dying as much as me through these workouts? I’m a core weakling, apparently!

Welcome

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
