This will be the last hard day of your season, besides this weekend’s race. Mark sure that you warm up well, and then, go to a local track.
Week 26, Day Three, Tuesday, December 8, 2015
Warm up, run two miles on the track, at 5k race pace, jogging the turns and sprinting the straitaways.
Jog 800 meters, then, run 1000 meters at 5k race pace, jog another 800 meters,
then, run three 200 meters strideouts, at near race finish speed. Focus on increasing your pace as you come off the turns, jog 200 meters
Then, get in a nice, relaxed cooldown and do some stretching.
