I NEVER run for ANY kind of distance; I NEVER hit a cardio machine (elliptical, stair climber, treadmill)...unless I'm sprinting or doing a Tabata. However, I have done this Mile Run Challenge (a CrossFit W.O.D.) a number of times, and it is awesomely horrible. Sprinting and strength are both involved.
Map out a mile at home in your neighborhood, and give this one a go. It is so simple that it's deceptively dangerous=)
*Run 1 Mile
*On the minute every minute, perform 10 Walking Lunges and 10 Push-Ups
-Do them quickly, because you'll need the time to get some fast running in
-It will take you FOREVER to finish the mile if you don't race the entire thing.
Good luck!
Warning: If the weather cooperates, we will try this in my Sunday 1pm Athletic Conditioning class at the Morrison Y later this week.
