by Larry EderThis week is about using all sixteen to twenty weeks of running that you have done for this season, in these important races! But, the key in the last week of racing is to stay healthy and stay focused. Tuesday’s workout is fast, fun and within you.
Tuesday, December 6, 2016: Warm up, go to the track, run 5k on the track jogging turns, sprint straightaways. Keep it relaxed, but sprint at race pace, make sure you cool down, and change wet clothes right away.
