5 rounds, each for time, of: 800-meter run
Rest 3 minutes
Post time for each interval to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, we are going to tackle 5 half-mile runs. The half-mile is arguably one of the most challenging events in track. Look back at your previous score to help you navigate today’s effort. The goal is to run each interval as quickly as possible. With a significant amount of rest, aim to perform each run in a similar time. Newer athletes should reduce the distance to ensure they complete each interval in less than 5 minutes. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Have fun!
Scaling:
Reduce the distance of each run.
In case of an injury or limitation, perform a 1,750/2,500-meter Echo bike, 1,600/2,000-meter C2 bike, or 800/1,000 meters on the rower.
Intermediate option: Same as Rx’d.
Beginner option / 4 rounds, each for time, of: 600-meter run
Rest 3 minutes
Coaching cues:
On each run, focus on running tall and leading with the hips. To pick up speed, lean forward with your entire body.
