Still Dark

Pic was taken by my teammate Jen Zambruno, who had to meet Coach Chris at the track yesterday at 6am to get her mile time trial in before work.  So rad.

Speaking of Coach Chris….he whipped up some good stuff for everyone today.

Workout Target Pacing:  3-5sec/500m slower than your 2000m PR

Workout Details:  Treat the opening 500m a warm-up (slightly above the pace range).  The 1st set 400m & 300m should be within the range.  The core of this workout is the 3rd set.  Push your pace near (or below) the low end of the range.  The forth set should not be your fastest – just keep in within the range.
