Since it is an icy time of year, then its more important than ever that you have other options when you run, rather than running on icy pavements.
One place that is usually a lot kinder to you than a pavement is a rugby pitch, and this type of pitch contains the perfect spread of lines in my view for top quality running workouts.
This is a quick workout that will work in a big way and definitely get the job done.
Start off on the try line and do 5 press ups, then run to the 25 yard line and then run backwards to the try line where you do 5 press ups, then run to the 10 yard line, then run backwards all the way back to the try line and do 5 press ups.
Then run to halfway line and backwards to try line and again too 5 press ups.
Then the next line and backwards and do 5 press ups.
Then the last but one line and run backwards to the try line and do 5 press ups.
Then its one big long run to the opposite try line and run backwards, again do 5 press ups.
By this time you will be absolutely shattered!! The record is 3 minutes 6 seconds.
Anything under 5 minutes is very good indeed.
This is a quick way of having a quality workout, getting the job done in super quick time and really a great test of strength and endurance!!
Give it a go and be interesting how you get on!!
