Bad Weather Run

If you don't have access to a treadmill for those bad weather run days but don't want to get off schedule.....Do an indoor interval run.  Put your pedometer on your shoe and do some warm up walking lunges and/or jump squats, turn on your tunes and get going.  If you have stairs, great you can use those.  If you don't have stairs no biggie cause this will kick your indoor run into high gear regardless.  Do 45 seconds to 60 seconds full out and then 15 seconds to 30 seconds active recovery...you can do this for 15-20 minutes.  Check your pedometer and see how far you were able to go.  Or, the other way you can do this is to go close to full out in your normal run time (e.g., if you typically run for 5+min before a slower jog/walk interval then do that same course for up to the entire duration of your normal runs).  Some ideas for the "work" move:  leaned back knee highs, tuck jumps, rock star jumps, stairs, running in place, box jumps, ski jumps.  Some ideas for the "active recovery" move:  butt kicks, toe taps, light run in place, march in place, jumping jacks, jump rope.  Have fun!
