Running 101/201 Terms (used in our class workouts)
 
Running 101

1. Pickups- just as it sounds, pick up the pace a little for the ratio described on the schedule.

2. Drills- include lunges, grapevines, high skips, low skips, happy feet, high knees, butt kicks, and backwards running

3. Indian Drill- Put runners in a straight line. The runner from the back runs up to the front and keeps the pace for a few minutes. When you blow the whistle (good to have by the way), the last runner runs up to the front and keeps the pace for a while. Repeat until all runners have run to the front or until time runs out.

4. Relay- on the track or in a circle route. Set up a relay where each runner runs hard to the next runner and passes off a baton (stick, whatever you want).

Running 201

1. Hills- find a hill that takes 1-2 minutes to run up. Runners should go up at a moderately hard pace and come down easy.

2. Drills- include lunges, grapevines, high skips, low skips, happy feet, high knees, butt kicks, and backwards running.

3. Ladder- 200, 400, 800,400,200. Done on the track with 200 meters easy between intervals (about 2 minutes). If done on the street, do time, 1 min, 2 min, 4 min and back down with 2 minutes easy between intervals.

4. Tempo Run- done at 80-85 % effort
