Hello everyone
After summer track season ended. My parents only let me go out to run 2 days a week. Idk why they would do that. So I decide to run indoors when sleeping or when the tv is loud. I have to sometimes stop when I just started which dissapoints me a lot.
My question is running indoors helpful?
What is this? Are you a tiny boy wizard living with muggles and they keep you in a cupboard under the stairs?
No I am a senior in high school with prs of 4: 49 for the mile and 10:34 for 2 miles and my 5k is 17: 59. I am trying to break 17 this year. So I have been putting in about 60 miles per week.
I only could run 2 times a week outside this week cause my parents want me to take a break,they think I will be burned out. So I run when they dont know.
Is running indoors helpful to?
Are you even allowed to leave the house? Seems pretty easy to leave and go run somewhere they wouldn't see you. Does your track coach have a summer training plan he wanted the team to do?
When you say running indoors, are talking about treadmill, running in place, or running through the house? Please let it be running through the house, as that would be freaking hilarious.
Do the following about 4 days per week:
1. Simulate Lydiard hill reps but on the flat in your house. Bring knees up slightly higher than normal running motion while landing and springing off forefoot. Start with 30-40 reps build to 5 sets of 300-400. Quick tempo but not all out.
2. Short forward hops on one leg landing on ball of the foot. Kinda like one leg rope skipping but you are not using the jump rope. Jump rope is not necessary. Not for height or disatne but quick,quick, quick! Start with 20-30 reps. Build to3-4 sets of 100.
3. Skipping for height. Self explanatory. Build to several sets of 100.
4. Stand near a wall and use hands for balance. Do 1/4 squats on one leg at a time and spring upwards explosively landing on ball of foot and spring up again. Simulates more closely the knee angle when running than half or deep squats. 10-30 reps.
5. Get about 2-3 feet away from your bed. Stretch out one leg fairly straight on to bed so you are standing on one leg. Spring up and down on that foot. Start with 20 reps build to 100.
6. 1/4 squats one leg near a wall using hands for balance with 25 to 50 lb. backpack on. Controlled descent and rise. Like #4 above but not a spring jump. Start with 10 build to 40-50 reps.
It will all be in my book with illustrations in a few months, "Indoor Training the Cro Magnon Way". Author Skip Hopper.
it is running through the house. The previous week I ran outside every day. They dont know I do doubles. So I had to run inside the house.
Thank you will defnitely do it.
