We're all set to start up Tracky Tuesday and I am fired up. I snuck in a workout earlier this week and it's just not the same without everyone there pushing eachother and laughing through the discomfort. Can't wait for the first session.
If you are wondering what pace you should be running there are a few things to think about. The idea is to run faster than you would in a race so that your body is shocked into adapting. For track workouts, you want to run as fast and hard as you can so that when the workout is done you can't run any more.
The way I do it is that I run faster than I think I should so that by the time I'm half way I'm pretty sure I can't finish the workout. If you do this you'll be surprised that most of the time you'll be able to get through it and even if you don't, you've still got a heck of a workout in.
You can also check this out: www.mcmillanrunning.com/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm It can give you an idea of the paces you should run for speed workouts. There's also some interesting thoughts on training if you are into the science behind it.
First workout will be posted soon.
Run Fast,
