Track time is Tuesday. The two sessions with the 200 meters are a little different workout. I recall doing a workout where we would do four sets of 200 meter repeats with 20 minute runs in between. But, that is for a different time of the season. Today is about running smooth, and staying efficient. The big races are here! Challenge yourself and set a new PB!
