Intro

This is a quick summary of “1 DÍA EN LA VIDA DE CARLOS ALCARÁZ🎾🤩” from the Ismanon channel. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

  • Morning routine: Wake up around 6:30 – 7:00 am, have a light breakfast (coffee, toast with turkey/ham, banana) before any training.
  • Dynamic warm‑up: Alcaraz always stretches before training, but use dynamic movements (leg swings, high‑knees, lunges) to avoid the strength loss of static stretching.
  • Core running workout: 3 × 3 km at marathon‑pace (~3:30‑3:35 min/km) with a lactate target of ~2.5 mmol/L to keep intensity in check. Include a short “compás” drill set (quick foot‑work) before the main repeats.
  • Recovery: Cool‑down jog, foam‑roller or massage, and a short 30‑40 min siesta to recharge for the afternoon.
  • Nutrition: Focus on real carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes), lean protein (fish, chicken, dairy), plus plenty of fruit & veg. Hydrate and avoid ultra‑processed foods.

Workout Example

Dynamic Warm‑up (10 min)

  • 5 min easy jog
  • 5 min dynamic stretches (leg swings, walking lunges, high‑knees)

Main Set

  • 3 × 3 km @ ~3:30 min/km (marathon pace)
  • Keep effort ~2.5 mmol/L lactate (if you have a lactate meter) or aim for a comfortably hard effort where you could hold a conversation with short pauses.
  • 2‑3 min easy jog or walk recovery between repeats.

Cool‑down (5‑10 min)

  • Light jog + static stretching for hamstrings, quads, calves.
  • Foam‑roll or self‑massage.

Feel free to adjust the paces to match your own marathon‑pace or use the Pacing app to set personalized intervals.

Closing Note

Give Alcaraz’s balanced routine a try – the dynamic warm‑up, focused 3 km repeats, solid nutrition and brief power‑nap can boost your running performance. Customize the paces in the Pacing app to fit your fitness level and enjoy the results! 🚀
