Try these race specific workouts in your next training block! As we posted early this week, it is important to train specific to the race you are targeting if you truly want to get faster. Once you have built a solid base of training and are heading deeper into your race specific training, we can begin to really target race specific demands through key workouts. Here are some example workouts you can try! 5k: Start with: 12 x 300 meters at 5k pace with 100 meter jog rest Progress to: 12-16 x 400 or 600 meters at 5k pace with a 100m jog rest 10K: Start with: 5 x 1 mile at 10k pace with 45-90 seconds SLOW jog rest, hammer 1 more interval (to make 6 total miles). Progress to: 3 x 2 miles at 10k pace with 2 min jog rest. Half Marathon: Start with: 3 x 2 miles at half marathon pace with 800m jog rest (jog at normal easy pace) Progress to: 3 x 3 miles at half marathon pace with 800m jog rest Marathon: This is a post on its own! These are pretty advanced workouts so make sure to build up to these! What races are you training for in the coming months?
