Now that the Lawyers Have Heart 10K is behind me (you can read my recap here), it’s time to figure out my training program for summer running. The next race on my calendar is the Go Fourth 8k, which is a very low-key event that I run for the post-race watermelon.
Summer race directors–take note!
The next race after that is the Army 10 Miler, which isn’t until October 20.
I’m going to take advantage of this break in my race schedule to focus on cross-training. While I still plan to run three days a week, my week day runs may not include as much speed work or as many hill repeats, and my weekend long runs may be shorter.
In the weeks leading up to the Lawyers Have Heart 10K, I did 6 weeks of Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred, doing it three days a week, and spending two weeks on each level. I love the short workouts and love the crazy core work in Level 3, but I am ready for something different. That’s why I decided to sign up for Tina’s Best Body Bootcamp (BBB).
The 8-week program starts Monday, June 17, but you can still register. (Friday June 15th is the last day to register at the regular price, but late registration will remain open through June 23rd.) I have heard so many good things about BBB, and Tina is really taking it to the next level with this session, with video demos of every workout, a private group site for questions and support, and a beginner’s series. As always, there will be a weekly newsletter and prizes! To learn more, check out Tina’s BBB page and the BBB FAQ page.
I’m looking forward to this training program for summer running, even if it involves more cross-training than running!
Do you switch up your fitness routine with the seasons?
Have you done Tina’s Best Body Bootcamp before?

Enjoy BBBC!! It's awesome. And I love the focus on cross training- that's what most of my May and June looked like, too!
I am signed up for BBBC too! This is my fourth round and I love it. I try to switch things up every so often to keep me motivated and BBBC has been a great way to do that.
I'm glad you explained how you do a full month of JM. So far, I've only done levels 1 and 2 and I seem to do them once a week or so. I just finished my workout for today and did level 2. I like that one.
I'm excited about BBB, I'm getting a little bored making up my own stuff at home. Tina comes up with some great workouts and the timing is perfect.
I love watermelon too! This will be my first summer taking it easy and not preparing for a summer race. I'm really looking forward to it!
I mix up my training pretty often.
I'm actually signed up to start my first round of Tina's BBBC on Monday – looking forward to a new challenge!!!
Watermelon is the best after a summer run/race 🙂
I bet the watermelon tasted so good post race. The juice must have been great. Lots of races go for bananas, and I understand it, but some races do oranges, which I think is much nicer because it is provides some instant OJ.
I love cold watermelon after a race! Yummy and so refreshing!
I did Tina's BBBC earlier in the year and loved it. It was nice to change things up a bit with her workouts and was totally doable with running.
I'm currently doing Jillian's Body Revolution and love it. I'm early into the program and it's 90 days so I'm hoping Jillian will do the mixing things up for me 🙂
