Please meet downstairs on the west side of Barton Hall at 7:15, where we’ll do warmups before moving up to the track at 7:30.
We have only three more workouts in Barton Hall before we move down to Stewart Park for the summer, so we’ll be focusing on the sort of workouts that are easier on a track. This week’s workout will focus on the 400m and 800m, with relatively little recovery. See the workout card for your paces.
- 200m strides to spread out the group
2–4 sets of:
- 400m at I pace, 200m recovery
- 400m at I pace, 200m recovery
- 800m at I pace, 400m recovery
If your weekly mileage is under 20 miles per week, do two sets. Those between 20 and 30 miles per week should do three, and those above 30 miles per week and who want the extra challenge should do four sets. That’s a bit more than the usual 8% of weekly mileage, but I think it’s worth getting the additional distance in.
Lizzy Rayle will again lead kids 5–11 in running game workouts, but note that we have only one more week with her before she switches to coaching the Ithaca Youth Bureau kids’ track program.
Any questions? See you Tuesday!
