It’s no secret that running is my favorite form of cardio. It’s also no secret that I’m not a competitive runner – I just find that it’s just a great way to exercise. However, when Khushboo posted a little something about pyramid runs, I was intrigued. It seemed like a great way to push myself and change up something that has become somewhat of a routine.
Here’s what a pyramid run looks like…
And let me tell you – this kind of a run is tough. I got on the treadmill today and pushed myself harder than I have in a really long time. When I got closer to the “top of the pyramid,” I seriously felt like my heart was going to explode (in a good way)! I was a sweaty beast after two 15 minute intervals (with five minutes of power walking in between). This new way of running is definitely a winner!
Another not so well kept secret is that I love walking. So, after completing a pyramid run, I started thinking about how this concept could be applied to walking (both in terms of speed and incline). Fun workouts are in my future…woo hoo!

And I may have some fun news to report a little later in the week. Stay tuned!
What’s your favorite way to workout? Running? Zumba? Yoga? Pilates?
definitely doing one of these tomorrow!
So glad you enjoyed it- definitely a keeper of a workout! If you look at Courtney’s blog (sweettoothsweetlife), she has a pyramid workout which is tailored towards walking. You know my favorite workout is running- never gets old!
I’ve done a run sort of similar to this before. What I do is start at 6.0 mph and then increase by 0.1 mph every 3-5 minutes. It’s a fun way to challenge myself!
first off my favorite “i feel so amazing after i work out” cardio is definitely swimming but i have to say that i also enjoy a great spin class or a workout on the stair stepper!
I like running/jogging, but I love playing tennis/raquetball more 🙂
Running rocks my world. I miss it like a long lost friend when I cannot do it! Love walking too!
