Jamie Millage Workouts
The workouts below can be easily modified for a stationary bike or rowing machine. Pick a pace that comfortably challenges you, and do not go sprinting on any icy or unsafe surfaces.
Run workout - Structured Version
Easier with a wrist-stop watch or a programmable timer app.
25 Minute Session, Every 5 minutes:
- Jog 2 minutes (at a pace you could normally have a conversation at)
- Run at 80% of max sprint speed 20 seconds
- Jog 1 minute
- Sprint for 10 seconds
- Walk/jog for 90 seconds
Run workout - Unstructured Version (Fartlek)
Here is a link Jamie provided regarding the Fartlek Workout!
Run a 4km route. Along the way, try to pick an object (tree, lightpost) 30-100m ahead and run hard to it. Do this 5 or 6 times along the run. If you need to walk for a moment after a hard sprint, that’s okay (we’re getting back into things here).
Sprint Workouts by Nick Waddell
Four rounds of six brief sprint exercises, designed to work on your top speed even if you can’t get outside.
Check out Nick Waddell's Home Sprint Drills here!
Yoga Workout with Adrienne
This one isn’t as much about simulating a game of ultimate, but it is a challenging 22 minutes yoga workout. If it’s your first time back to multi-workouts per day, this might provide some nice variety.
Check out Yoga with Adrienne - 22 minute Yoga Tone here!
