This workout is NOT designed as high-mileage. Depending on your fitness level, choose either 1 or 2 miles. Sprinting intervals provides MAJOR intensity, so there’s no need for a long run. If you’re a wild person and decide to go for additional mileage (are you kidding me?), it’s really unnecessary and might slay you, so don’t come looking for me if you keel over from excess-mileage.
You should know beforehand how far it is to the end of each mile. Use your Garmin Forerunner
SPRINT INTERVALS WORKOUT
Walk approximately 1/8 of a mile to reach the interval starting point of your choice. Then perform some light stretches prior to your run.
1-mile Sprint Interval (round 1): Start your Interval Timer on the “stopwatch setting” and begin with a medium-paced jog for approximately 45-60 seconds. Then switch it up with a sprint for approximately 20 seconds. Alternatively (this is what I do), choose neighborhood landmarks, such as intersections, street signs, houses, or roadkill to dictate your interval switch-up points. Continue the intervals until you have completed a 1-mile run.
Interval break: Walk for approximately 1/8 mile. Do NOT skip this break. Unless you’re a decorated Olympian, it’s recommended that you take this quick interlude for extra recovery before starting the 2nd round (mile 2) of sprints.
1-mile Sprint Interval (round 2): Reset your timer and begin second round of 1-mile Sprint Intervals.
Now it’s recovery time! Do NOT skip out on proper recovery. Lightly jog or walk back home for a good stretch, then hydrate and re-fuel properly. Record your mileage time in your workout log.

The requests for free samples has been overwhelming and I want to share with as many people as possible. Soon I will reveal how YOU can get your own free sample, courtesy of the Yum Yucky! (and I am happy that the Shakeology t-shirt makes my boobs look bigger)
It was a rough 20 days. I got super busy with just about everything – work, home, kids, blogging, ebook writing – I’ve been late for work, running on about 4 hours sleep each night, and NOT slurping my Shakeology consistently. In the time when I need it most, I slacked off and made excuses why I couldn’t take 5 dang minutes every day to make the shake that has personally proven itself to give me the energy I so desperately need. In the last 20 days, I’ve had my Shakeology probably 10 times. So that’s basically every other day instead of consistently EVERY day. What’s wrong with that, you say? Welp, I do feel the difference. It’s had a backwards affect and been serious energy drain. I’ve skipped days of Shakeology here and there before with no lost affects, but to skip days for such an extended period of time does not work for me. I’m glad I know this now. I’m listening to my body and back doing what I need to do, so perhaps this was a necessary lesson. I’ve always looked at Shakeology in terms of what it can do for ME and me only, but it’s benefits were actually helping me to also do what I need to do for my family, while giving me the natural boost I need to do everything that my crazy days demand…..
