Go Speed Racer Go

Tonight's speed training was a huge success! Runners, I know you were running considerably faster than your half marathon pace tonight. The goal tonight was for you to feel the turn over speed you have in your legs, to feel your strides open up, and to get those arms pumping right along with your legs. You all did outstanding!!!

Tonight's program was a standard pyramid run with five high intensity runs. In between each run, participants walked between 400 and 600m to recover before starting the next!

The distances were as follows
  • 400 m
  • 800 m
  • 1600 m
  • 800 m
  • 400 m

The speeds were individualized based on each person's half marathon pace. The fastest pace was the 400 m and the slowest pace was the 1600 m.

Runners, you were cruising!

Keep up the great work!!!

  1. That was great training workout! The hardest part for me was the last .25 of the mile and the 800 after. It is awesome having the run club, everyone has been so supportive and it is nice making new friends.
