We’re in the middle of the mile season, so we’ll continue to work on strength with some longer I-pace reps and a little R-pace speed thrown in to keep things fresh.
This week’s workout will be a ladder of 200-400-600-800-800-600-400-200, which is 2.5 miles of speed. If your weekly mileage isn’t at least 25 miles per week, drop one of the 800s. Pace depends on the rep:
- 200s and 400s at R pace
- 600s and 800s at I pace
There will be a 400m recovery jog after each rep except the first 200m, which only needs 200m of recovery.
BTW, a few of our regulars still need to sign the 2023 FLRC Training Programs waiver!
