Week 8

Hey everyone,

Really impressed with all those that braved the heat last week. Nice work.

Tip of the week: Breathe with your belly button. Try to take deep breaths that fill your belly, not just your chest. With practice you'll teach your body to take in a lot more air.

This week we start reducing the rest between intervals. The first workouts of the summer built up speed, then we've upped the length of the interval. Now we will reduce the rest. By the end of the summer you're going to be able to run really fast for a very long time.

Remember:
"Full rest" means you should have your breath back and feel as ready as you are going to get
"Half rest" means you rest for about half the amount of time as you were running the previous interval

Here's the workout:

400 followed by full rest

1200 followed by full rest

800 half rest
600 half rest
400 Full rest

800 half rest
600 half rest
400 Full rest

400 half rest
400 half rest
400

As always drink lots of water and...

run fast,
