by Larry EderThe workout today is fast, and furious. You need a day like that once a week. We have 800m repeats and 200m repeats. You will be tired when you have to run fast, like when you are racing. One of my favorite focus points was to always run the last couple of 200m, 300m, or 150m a bit faster to prepare to run hard during a race. Consider that, but always, always, ask your coach before you add anything to workouts.
