To that end I will not stand on my soapbox and launch into a long-winded, opinionated, and self righteous diatribe on the merits of working out on a track......or field. No, that is for another time my friends because today is all about business. You will however need a track or other suitable outdoor facility (ie. field).
This workout involves two of my favorite things, running short to moderate distances and throwing in a strength element. The addition of strength really stimluates and activates aerobic power as well as some anaerobic elements.
Anyway, without further ado, I introduce the "tracker".
TRACKER
Run- 2,400 m (fast)
After the run immediately perform
Push-ups- Complete an eight set pyramid doing "travelling" push-ups".
Set #1 - 8 push-ups *travel into the next running lane (approximately 3 feet)
Set #2- 7 push-ups *travel into the next running lane (approximately 3 feet)
Set #3- 6 push-ups *travel into the next running lane (approximately 3 feet)
Sets#4- 5 push-ups *travel into the next running lane (approximately 3 feet)
etc, etc
Continue downwards until you reach one push-up. This leaves you with a total of 36-push-ups in total for the set. Incidentally, this works great on an
8-lane running track. The push-ups should be done with as little rest as possible until the entire set is completed.
P.S. You musttravel between each set. You can't just decide to do a straight set of 36-push-ups because you don't want to look like a dork.
Advanced- repeat this circuit 2-3 times taking about 1-minute between each round
Intermediate- try it once and see how you feel
Hope all is good out there peoples?
