Running Around 11•16•13

Week 26 • Fall Training 2013

With about 11 training days left until Thanksgiving, we'll continue to work on fine tuning efficiency and economy. We'll also throw in some 800s so that stamina is not being ignored. Keep good form and run fast with efficiency. Let's do sets of 800m @I pace, 2x 400m @R pace. Half distance jog following all repeats. So a full set is 800m @I + 400m jog + 400m @R + 200m jog + 400m @R + 200m jog.
