STREET PARKING + AEROBIC CAPACITY 5 K PROGRAM IS HERE.
Before there was Street Parking, and before there was Aerobic Capacity - there was Miranda the competitive athlete and her running coach - Chris Hinshaw 1985 second place Iron Man finisher and endurance coach extraordinaire.
Twice a week Miranda trained with Coach Hinshaw at a track in San Jose, CA to prepare for CrossFit Games competition. He has since become very respected in the competitive community as the man who has helped all of these strong and skilled athletes develop a better “aerobic capacity.”
Since, Chris has created his own programming for athletes to follow Aerobic Capacity - and of course Miranda wanted to create something special for people trying to get and stay as fit as possible - who don’t have hours a day or a ton of equipment to make it happen.
And here we are.
The two have remained close and wanted to come together to bring the Street Parking Community the expert coaching of Coach Hinshaw, with the quick and effective Street Parking workouts for the ULTIMATE but oh so simple Street Parking + Aerobic Capacity 5k Program.
Both Miranda and Chris know the WRONG thing to do when training for any endurance event is to JUST go out and run. There needs to be a plan to improve across different areas of your running ability. That is why there are 3 focused running sessions per week: SPEED, THRESHOLD, and ENDURANCE.
The program is designed so that anyone can follow - using percentage of 100% effort and RPE (rate of perceived exertion) paces. In each workout - each interval will list what % effort it should be for YOU and how it should FEEL. Don’t get too hung up on it being perfect and trust that following how you FEEL can be extremely effective - especially for someone who doesn’t have a ton of experience with this type of training.
It’s also a mistake to not strengthen the body as a whole and increase power, explosiveness, strength, range of motion, and muscular endurance in workouts OUTSIDE of just running. That is why this program ALSO includes 2 days of the regular Street Parking Program + 1 day per week of Butts and Guts (weak glutes, hamstrings, and core are some of the major contributors to many running related injuries and improper running form).
Of course the program wouldn’t be complete without RECOVERY - so we have included suggestions for the best SP Maintenance videos to throw in on your rest day.
It’s all here. Run at a track. Measure a 200, 400, and 800 meter distance in your neighborhood. Or jump on your treadmill. It’s time to improve that 5k!!
