This routine is an amalgamation of the exercises from both Vol.1 and Vol.2 of the Building a Better Runner Series. I tried to make sure that the anterior chain and posterior chain were equally challenged in this cool-down. You don't need any props (i.e. medicine balls, hurdles, etc.) and for the first couple of weeks you should think of this as circuit that is work and not a cool-down, yet after a couple of weeks it becomes really easy.

This is an introduction to a video series showing the warm-up, workout and HM at the end the workout. The workout is "The Machine 1.1" which is simply a circuit with 700m at 6:00 pace followed immediately by 2-3 minutes of General Strength (GS), then a 70m jog to the next 700m repeat. This workout was conducted March 17th, 2009 at Fairview HS in Boulder, CO; athlete is Sara Vaughn.
