2/20/2017

0 Comments

 
MONDAY February 20 
Please note: focus on form by overexaggerating your arm usage and pulling your knees up with your gut/torso (“core”). The less you drive with your hamstrings and calves and the more you use your upper body the stronger you’ll get and the less at risk for injury.

*10 Mile -Half = 5-8 AHR miles with 8 x 20 second HILL surges

“SPARTAN” time! The two keys to this fun workout are:
1. Make sure your 800’s “off” the track are not run too slowly (see suggested pace)  
2. Make sure your repeats on the track get faster each time you come back onto the track!

2K on the track at MP-HMP
800 off the track slightly slower than MP
