Week 13 - 2nd to last workout

Hey everyone,

This is the most important workout of the summer. Really pour as much into this one as you can.

Tip of the week is about accepting discomfort. Running fast and racing hurts and the fear of it can hold you back. Ever finish and think you could have given more? Before your next workout or next race don't think of fighting through the pain from the first step to the last. Most of the race or workout will not be uncomfortable. It's just that last 25% that will test you so concentrate on sticking to your pace for the first 75% and then deal with the discomfort of maintaining it when you're almost done.

Here's the workout:
Make all the 400s (except the first one) faster than the previous interval.
400
1-2 minutes rest
800
very short rest
400
1-2 minute rest
1200
very short rest
400
2-3 minute rest
1600
very short rest
400
3-4 minute rest
1200
very short rest
400
2 -3 minute rest
800

It'll be cooler, but stay hydrated.

Run Fast,

m
