Strides of March Results

We had some excellent performances in Sunday’s track meet, led by Alexander Simpson’s excellent 4:19 for a win in the mile. He was hoping to break 4:19, which is his PR and which he’s run multiple times this year, but despite a ferocious final 300m, he missed by a few tenths of a second. I think Isaac Mazzeo’s 4:32 may also be a PR. Kudos to Chris Petroff and Liz Hartman for doubling in the 3000m and the mile! (Apologies if I missed anyone!)

Workout

Now that the indoor track season is over, we’re going to change gears and focus our workouts more on the 5K to 10K range, where there’s less emphasis on top speed—we’ll be doing fewer 200s. For anyone doing serious training, these workouts will still be aimed at speed; you’ll want to do longer tempo work and easy distance on your own. Feel free to ask at the workout if you need suggestions.

For this week’s workout, we’re going to do something simple but guaranteed to build aerobic conditioning and moral character: after an initial 200m to spread out the group, we’ll run 800m repeats at T pace with 200m recoveries.

The goal, as always, is to hit roughly 8% of your weekly mileage with the fast reps, so if your weekly mileage is under 20 miles per week, do 3 reps of the 800m, 20–30 mpw, 3–5 reps, and 30+ mpw, 4–6 reps.
