Running Intervals and Leg Strength

After still having some pain in the back of my lower leg (particularly my soleus) I decided to do easy interval running on the treadmill combined with some leg strengthening. Plus it is just a great cardio workout. Vacation is coming!

The workout:

• .5 mile run at 5.7 speed
• 3x10 superset of Kettlebell Sumo Squat and Back Squat
• .5 mile run at 5.8 speed
• 2x10 giant set of standing lunges, front dumbbell squat, and single leg squat. All done with 20lb dumbbells in each hand.
• .5 mile run at 5.9 speed
• 3x10 superset of Stability Ball Hamstring Curl and Bridge

Then I did some good stretching before heading out. My gym workouts are not super long. I save my extra time for my runs.
