Week 6

There hasn't been a year of these workouts that hasn't included one or two ladder workouts.  Mid point in the year is a good place to get it in before we start shortening up the rest.

400
800
1200
1600
1200
800
400
Full rest after each.

The trick to a good ladder workout is to pace it out so you aren't sprinting the 400s and you aren't jogging the 1600.  What I do is pace out like I'm doing a 1200 and try to do that for all intervals.  If I still have a little left in the tank I pick up the pace for the last 2 or 3 intervals.  If you get to the 1600 and think "there's no way I can't keep up this pace" you're probably doing it right.

Stay hydrated.

Run Fast.
