Workouts

  • What's next for you?
         
Here's something to think about:
  • 3 minute runs with 2 minute recoveries: on the track, road, or trail. 6-8 of these for an unstructured but productive workout. Aim for even pace or go negative...get faster as you go.
  • 1000s, with a 440 m recovery. Run these faster than your goal pace for a 5K or 10K. Run between 4 and 6 of them.
  • miles with a 400m recovery at a few seconds faster than you goal pace for a 5K or 10K. Run 3-4 miles of these.
  • Alternate 800m and a mile with the 800 at a faster pace than the mile. Take a 400m recovery after the 800 and mile. Try 2 or 3 sets.
  • 4 X 4: After an appropriate warm up and drills, 4 minute runs at the pace of your choice, with the recovery of your choice (4 minutes down to 2 minutes, based on your fitness level) Four times!
