TUES MAY 25, 2011
4 lap warm up
set 1-NEGATIVE splits
1 mile progressively faster quarters. Take your average fast quarter speed from last week's workout (when we did 6 400s). Add 5 seconds to each quarter, so if your average was 2:00, your mile looks like this:
2:15, 2:10, 2:05, 2:00
jog (NOT walk) 400
repeat above including 400 recovery
set 2:
4 x 400 with 100 recovery
for each 400, take your total from the 6 x 400 workout, and run the first 200 5 seconds slower than the 2nd 200. For example, if you ran 2:00 quarters, your first 200 should be 1:05 and then a 55 second 200
Don't sweat the exactness, the idea is to run negative splits where the second part of the workout is faster than the first.
