Adding Running to a Rotation, etc.

Hi Cathe,

I was wondering if you could advise me how to incorporate my running into any rotation. I'm currently doing your May Premix Rotation and I'm adding my runs a couple times per week. I only run just under 4 miles at a time.

Is it too much to do this in addition to the rotation? Should I just be substituting my runs for the cardio workouts? I feel like I'm cheating myself and the rotation when I opt for the second choice.

Also, is there a breakdown of premixes (somewhere on this website) for the workouts that came before your most recent four? The new workouts have every segment of the premix listed, whereas in the compendium you have to really search for the body parts and equipment used, to try to figure out what the rotation is all about.

I try to classify my workouts into cardio, strength, circuit, upper and or lower, etc. so a breakdown would really help me to see which have ab and core workouts, as an example. Your workouts can be classified one way, but the premixes can totally change the focus and objective of the original workout in its entirety.

Thank you so much. I am so glad I found you because I'm learning so much about working out and am gaining a higher level of fitness than what I had been used to all these years. You're the best!

Not Cathe but I'm doing the same thing you are. I love to run and the weather right now is just too nice to stay in all the time. I substitute a run in place of a steady state aerobic day or an interval run for a cardio workout that has some type of interval/blast sections in it.

I hope she does a running workout for itunes. That would be great!

Hi.
I'm Teals. Here are a few links to some of Cathe's Rotations over the past year that include running:

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?...opic_id=6482&mesg_id=6482&listing_type=search

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?...opic_id=6679&mesg_id=6679&listing_type=search

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?...opic_id=5711&mesg_id=5711&listing_type=search

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?...opic_id=5520&mesg_id=5520&listing_type=search

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?...opic_id=7080&mesg_id=7080&listing_type=search

The last one says "brisk walk or cycle ride" but of course, you could run instead. Just about everyone here modifies something or other with these rotations. Afterall, as Cathy says, "this is YOUR workout". ;-)

Hope this helps and have fun...
