2019 HOKA ONE ONE Spring Track & Field Training Week 16, Day 4: a fast day on the track

It is late April. Your speed is coming around and your recovery is a fast. The workout today is one of my faves. 8 times 400 meters, with a 400m jog. Eight swift 400 meters (your mile pace) will tire you, but will enthuse you.

April and May means racing weather.
