Wednesday Nov-20 at 5pm


Intermediate & Long Distance
5 rounds:  60sec ON:15sec OFF
2 min rest
5 rounds:  60sec ON:15sec OFF
2 min rest
5 rounds:  60sec ON:15sec OFF


Workout Details:  This workout to be done on an out and back course where you would run 60 seconds down, take a 15 seconds rest, turn and run back to the original start point.  You should pick a sustainable pace where you cover the same distance per round.  Your targeted perceived exertion during the 60 seconds ON should be a maximum of 80-85%.  Your distance from round to round should not deviate by more than 5 meters.   

You can reset your distance after each 5 rounds.

Alternative option to running:  Although the weather has not been cooperating, we need to maintain our aerobic base.  You will perform the same workout rounds on a rower.  Your targeted perceived exertion during the 60 seconds ON should be a maximum of 80-85%.  Try targeting an initial pace of ~8-10sec/500m slower than your 2000m PR pace.  As example, my 2000m PR pace is 1:47 and I would initially target the 60 seconds ON at a 1:55 to 1:57 pace. Reset your distance after each 5 rounds.
