Jay Johnson, Dr. Richard Hansen SAM Routines
Here are the first two phases of the Jay Johnson with Dr. Richard Hansen Strength And Mobility (SAM) routines. There are 5 levels available , but the other three (3,4,5) are a bit advances, and it's not likely we'll get to them over the summer. If you're curious, they're easy to find on YouTube.
Here is a youtube playlist that includes all the phases, as well as several other drills.

These drills below should be done after the running part of your workout, but start with Phase 1 Easy Day. We'll have other routines as well, but start with these.
