by Larry EderSpeed days simulate racing days. Coach Bill Dellinger called it callousing. If you prepare yourself for a race, you will be ready for the race.
Speed days are key to your racing development. A lot of folk like to mix distances and paces, and I am one of them. The workout down below is a good one. If you want to try something a little tougher, consider 4 times 800m, at 2 mile pace, 400m jog between, 4 x 200m, 200m jog, 800m pace, 6 x 150m strideouts.
