This week we’ll tailor or workout to those racing the mile next week. The rule of thumb is you can get some benefit from a workout if it is 8-10 days away from an event. If you’re not racing the mile, we have something for you also.
Beginners will get a modified Miler workout, the same just less volume.
If you have to get angry to maintain the pace, then your workout is done.
Everyone:
15-20 Minute warm up
6 X 100 Strides
Milers:
Please know what your intended mile pace is, see my previous post for instructions on how to figure that out.
4 X 400 @ Mile pace
4 X 200 @ Mile pace -1 second per 200 (this is only slightly faster)
Recovery equal to the length of the interval. 400 after a 400, 200 after a 200.
Road Racers:
3-5 x (1200@10k pace, 400@5k pace) 200 recovery after 1200, 400 recovery after the 400
Everyone:
Warm down 15-20 minutes
I’m in.
I’m in.
I’m in.
I really like the miler workout (400s/200s are my favorite) but I have to miss this week as I will be racing in Hollis NH Thursday night in the pouring rain! Have a good one everyone.
Sounds fun – I’m in.
If I make it back from canandaigua in time I’ll be there
