Running Around 11•16•14

Week 25 • Fall Training 2014

Nice and simple this week. 400m repeats at R-pace. We are working on running economy, efficiency, and fast turnover. It's better to back off a tiny bit to be smooth and efficient rather than just killing yourself to hit a particular pace.

WORKOUT SUMMARY

1. 5-12x 400m @R pace with 400m jog recoveries

2. 3-6x 1600m @T pace w/60s rest

3. Striders
