    Why the name?
    Legend has it that when a child was born in Sparta a physician would conduct a thorough inspection of the newborn. Obsessed with creating the perfect soldiers, children who were deemed unfit for Spartan society due to deformity were carried into the mountains and thrown into a pit known as the "Kaiada."

    Today you begin your journey. The tempo run allows one to remain oblivious to time, yet completely focused on one's effort. Instead of time dictating your workout, you are in control. This control is displayed as you gradually increase effort you devote to this workout. Starting off at half speed and gradually increasing in effort will teach you the discipline of being able to control your pace and push yourself the extra mile. Running is as much a mental challenge as it is physical.

    So reflect on your run today. Are you demonstrating self control; or starting off to fast? Are you truly unable to increase your effort; or do you simply not feel like it? If your mind wills it and you can honestly say that you did the workout to the best of your ability, you have survived the Kaiada.

    Although Ancient Greek athleticism became a phenomena that allowed young men to become career athletes, the reason for such an emphasis on athleticism was to train soldiers for war. One of the more brutal games that were played was known as "Pankration." The object of the game was to beat your opponent as close to death as possible. Biting and eye gouging were prohibited, and killing your opponent would merit an automatic forfeit.

    This program will not train you to become a professional Pankatias, but it does recognize the importance of cross-training. Even ancient runners would spar and employ training methods used by Pankatiasts. By training on a heavybag you will be able to complete a respectable core, endurance, and cardio workout without the strain and impact associated with running. Plus its fun!

    Remember that this workout is meant to be used as a recovery workout. Every punch and kick you generate should stem from your core! Feel free to do an additional ab workout before the cool down as well.

  • The Taygetos Workout

    Day 3
    Warm up:
    - Full body static stretching
    - Dynamic stretching
    - 15 minute run at 30-40% effort

    Work Out:
    - (6) Hill repeats @ Kohala Retreat Center

    Cool down:
    - 5 minute walk
    - cold shower

    Why the name?
    - The Taygetos is the highest mountain range in Greece, and is said to have been the final destination of Greek criminals, traitors, and captives. Though being sent to the hill country was a major punishment, you have chosen to take on the hill as an opportunity for greatness.

    Strength is integral to become a skilled runner, and obtaining it entails that you will feel a burn. Remember to focus on your form and kill the hill!
