Conditioning Mile

A conditioning mile is the following:

Do this 4 times (ideally around a track...for 4 laps total):

-Run 100m
-Do station #1 exercise
-Run 100m
-Do station #2 exercise
-Run 100m
-Do station #3 exercise
-Run 100m
-Do station #4 exercise


Examples of station exercises: pushups (10-20), ab planks (2x30s), dips (10-20), jump rope (2x30s), hops over a line (2x30s), etc.

Also, the 100m runs are not sprints. They're run at tempo speed, or what I call striding out...like a cross country race pace. I find the combination of cardio and strength work very taxing. There is no resting in these workouts; as soon as you get to a station, you move immediately to the exercise in question. Your heart rate should be elevated the whole time. Enjoy!
