2019 HOKA ONE ONE Spring Track & Field Training Week 20, Day 4: Thursday means fast!

Fast feels good. But, before one can run fast, one must do the work.

You are now ready to run fast. Warm up well, and take your time cooling down.

The 400m will feel fast and good. Jog a bit and then, run 4x 200m as cut downs. So if you run a 34 second 200m, make each one a bit faster.

Have fun!

Thursday, May 22, 2019-warm up, 4 x 400m, at 800m pace, 4x200m cut downs, coold down
