Favorite Track Workout

One of my favorite workouts in the track is a Fartlek Workout aka ‘Speed Play’. Fartlek running involves varying your pace throughout your run, alternating between fast segments and slow jogs.

Example:

• Warm up:
  • 10 min easy run
  • Dynamic Warm up exercises
• Strides ( Please followi the strides exercises.)
  • 4 x 100 yards build with 1 jog recovery
• 3 min easy run
• Main Set:
  • 15 x 1 min with (1:00 Jog Recovery)
  • Run all main set intervals at as fast a pace as you can maintain with good form. Attempt to run final effort as quickly or faster than the first.
• Cool Down:
  • 800 meter easy run
• Tip: to run even pace requires an increase in effort. You will learn how to pace your effort inthis workout.
