Hopefully by now you are starting to see an increase in fitness by following this Sutherland to Surf training plan.
Beginner:
Walk 1 minute followed by a 4 minute jog. Repeat x 4. Do this work out 3 times per week
Intermediate:
Interval session: 7x3 minutes hard pace with 90 seconds rest
Tempo run: 20 minutes at tempo pace
Long run: 65 mins at easy pace
Tip: If you find it hard to run for 4 minutes straight without stopping, just go for as long as you can and make that your benchmark for each rep.
Are you a new mum too? Ask your mothers group to join you and walk together for a purpose! www.lovemercyfoundation.org
