Week of 9/5/22: Workouts, Sat HR/XT back on..

Hi Folks,

This is the week to get in early morning workouts to avoid the heat!

9/6/22 TUESDAY. TEMPO run. I suggest a steady run instead of tempo because you’ll want to avoid quality running or cycling in the heat. Save it for another day when the weather cools off; you’ll get in moderate miles.

8 x 400 (on 2′, or 2;30, or 3′ depending on your pace You are looking for about 45″ rest prior to starting the next 400; the clock doesn’t stop). After your last 400 and keeping the same rest interval go right into 1 x 1000 meters at 5K pace. Hold the pace steady, but run negative splits with a final push over the last 200 or 100 meters.
