Thursday Aug 25th Workout at NBG Track 5:30 pm

Greetings Runners….

This week we return to an OLD standard… The 2 mile (8 laps) fartlek consisting of 200 m hard and 200 m recovery.  This is a great workout because it offers each of us the chance to tweak it to our individual training programs.  If you are training for longer races.. then the fast is a little slower and the recovery is a little faster.. If you are training for a 5/10K, then focus on running the fast 200 outside of your comfort zone and then recover with a slow jog to hit again.

So the workout goes…

2000 m warm up

-stretch and drills

3200 m (200 hard/ 200 easy repeats) continous

800 m recovery

3 X 1000 m repeats (ORANGE)

3 X 600 m repeats (WHITE)

Mile cool down
