mile cooldown

August 6 (Day 91)

mile warmup
30 min workout
700m-500m-300m
Make sure all three times are no more than 5 min
Ex. you have 10min to run 700m and the faster you do it the longer the rest
if you run it in 3min then you have 7min rest
After rest run 500m and if you run it in 1:15 then you have 8:45sec to rest
After run 300m but then the 3 has to be done in 45 sec and you ahve 9:15 sec to rest
because after you add up your times they have to be 5min or less.
The 300m is the base of the workout meaning the goal is to lower your 300m time
each time the workout is done
If all your times add up to be more than 5min then the workout doesnt count.
Meaning either you do it again later in the week, or next week with the same time

mile cooldown

P.S. you might want to record your times for the workout cause coach wants us to decrease the time for each run

250m workouts

in case your wondering why we've been doing the same 250m workout
Coach said that he essentially wants them to be real easy especially with the new running form and what not. So these 200m at 30sec should be getting really easy without you exerting much energy in reaching the time.
Good luck

Summary/Result: First set everything was on time, second set was the worst out of the three. Barely got through the reps and was significantly slower in the 60sec run (mostly the last 100m). Third set I used the rest of my energy to get through. A runs were very difficut to get through being fatigued from the other parts of the workout. Calves were very sore from yesterday. Struggled through the tuck jumps and pushups in the 2nd and 3rd set. Took longer than 2 minutes rest after 60 second runs.
