2019 HOKA ONE ONE Spring Track & Field Training Week 21, Day 2: Tuesday is fast

The sense of speed and fitness is compelling to all of us. I recall end of season workouts, where, for me, going 8 x 400m in 62-64, with a 200m jog felt like flying. I recall running a fast mile on the track, by myself and knowing, I was ready to race. Such are the feelings right now. Focus, and know that fast times are there.
