Workout Routine

Hey Guys,
I thought about sharing my workout routine as I decided to change it up a little recently. Keep in mind, this is all aimed towards long distance running and apart from this routine I make sure to have proper meals, at least 8 hours of sleep and 9 on days that have a harder routine and around 8 cups of water on a daily basis.
I also switch between week one and week two because lets be real I'll probably give up if I had that sort of routine every week.

WEEK ONE-
MONDAY- Plyometric Workouts ( Improves running as well as tones your legs because I don't want to have the completely muscular sort of legs)
I found a video that pretty much describes what I do- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9dCAxPLzzs

TUESDAY- Long Distance Run- (Semi- Recovery day. Couldn't have had this as a full recovery day because the next day is hard workout) Also, try to keep your strides as long as possible if it's long distance.

WEDNESDAY- Interval Running or Pyramid Intervals (Increases stamina) Keep in mind to switch between the two intervals every Wednesday depending on how you feel. The pyramid intervals burn the living hell out of me.  (Search up the two intervals if you're not sure- it's important to have the right technique. 

THURSDAY- Slow jog or take day off and jog on Saturday (Recovery Day)

FRIDAY- Walk or jog depending on Thursday (If I decide to take rest on Thursday, I'd jog on Friday if I jog on Thursday, I'd walk on Friday) 

SATURDAY- Rest- Squats, Lunges, Push ups, Crunches depending on Thursday (Full Recovery Day- Let your muscles have a full day off but make sure to do a set of these exercises to make your run better on Sunday, these will also make your posture better while running and not tire you as much)

SUNDAY- Walk- Short Sprints- Walk- Short Sprints (Focusing on speed)

WEEK TWO-

Any one day to take rest- the other days will be a normal jog. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from this- make sure to have a good posture, hydrate yourself and obey the two day rule. (If your legs seem to pain for two days, take two days off. If the pain does not go away even after two weeks- visit the doctor)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope this was helpful in some way...I guess.
Cya! :D
