We hit some 800m and 1000m repeats tonight to get a good taste of ‘going long’. After starting the workouts with repetitious drills that might seem monotonous, you can see how they carry over to the real deal. It’s key to stay focused throughout the entire workout and you maintain that form and focus during the main set. You will see a breakdown in your form as you get tired, but be aware of it and make the change as quickly as possible. The quicker you notice that and make the change, the quicker you will run. Running is a skill and it will take time to see the changes.
Main Set
2 x 800m (.49 miles), rest 2 minutes
2 x 1000m (.62 miles), rest 2 minutes
1 x 800m
If you get a chance to do this workout, email me your times.
We’ve got a time trial planned for Sunday, so take care of yourself between now and then. The weather is warming up, so stay hydrated, stretch, foam roll, and get ready for a big workout.
