Unilab Running Clinic - Day 3

Third day of the Clinic session, it was another challenging and tiring training. Not much to tell about so read on about the details of the training session we had.

Target Mileage: 7.4 kilometers

  1. 2 km warm-up run (or 5-laps run at own phase)
    • 5-minutes recovery
  2. Run drills (or Dynamic exercises)
    • forward lunges with knee-to-chest walk-stretch
    • quadriceps walk-stretch
    • horizontal back-front swing to one-leg balance
    • knee-high run
    • knee-high with back-pedal run
    • side-by-side hips run
    • russian march
    • long strides
  3. Workout run (80%-85% of maximum running speed)
    • 3-sets of 800m/600m/400m laps (2-min recovery each lap & 5-min recovery each set)
  4. Cooldown Stretching, which includes:
    • arm stretch
    • hip stretch
    • knee-to-chest one-leg stretch
    • quadriceps stretch

    • half-lunge stretch
    • full/deep lunge stretch
*Fastest 400m-lap workout: 00:01:29

The post-workout stretches are so good, it greatly relaxes the tired muscles of both legs and body. On parting, Sir Jack introduced us to Nicole Eunice Jabines of Unilab also, the cute lady with a cute voice on the Unilab ad-video presented during the Blogger's meet.

Three days take-home assignment:
  • 1st day - 30-minutes recovery run
  • 2nd day - rest
  • 3rd day - 10 kilometer emulation run
