Wednesday Night Hawks
Tonight, the weather will be a bit warm at nearly 82 degrees (!), not too much wind, and just a little humidity. W&L track is still officially closed, but Yorktown is available, as are some of the Fairfax County High Schools. While there will NOT be an organized workout, a number of people will be running. Even though it will be nice, still bring some water to keep hydrated.
May 19, 2021 - 8 to 10 x 600m in 10k pace - with 400m jog recovery in between
• Fastest Runners: 6:00 to 6:30 Pace, 9 to 10 Intervals
• Fast Runners: 6:30 to 7:00 Pace, 8 – 9 Intervals
• Intermediate Runners: 7:00 to 7:45 Pace, 8 – 9 Intervals
• Regular Runners/MTP Trainees: 7:45 to 10:00 Pace, 8 Intervals
This is another speed workout guaranteed to build both strength and stamina for your spring races. These are tougher than they look, so try to finish strong - push that last 100, and make sure you focus on your running form so you run efficiently, effectively, and injury-free. Up on your toes, knees lifting higher, Arms at your sides, not crossing over. I would ease into these by running the first couple in 10m pace, but also feel free to crush the last couple in 5k pace if you are still feeling frisky.
