When would be the best time to run these workouts leading up to the race? <br /><br />dannydannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-9692381996404065622015-01-13T10:56:00.376-08:002015-01-13T10:56:00.376-08:00Danny - check this line out for more info:
"...Danny - check this line out for more info: <br /><br />"if you are a 5k runner you can go for 85% to 80% 5k pace"<br /><br />So 85% of 5:20 goal pace would be a bit above 6:00 pace. Check my math...<br /><br />5:20 = 320 seconds<br />320 * 1.15 (85%) = 368 seconds <br />368 = 6:08 <br /><br />After the period of steady running, you shift hard and go as hard as you can to finish.<br /><br />My understanding of it is that the goal is not to average your race pace, but to work on that shift of gears and your ability to finish fast off a steady effort. <br /><br />This is a great race prep workout. Nate recommended me this workout to use with a HS track kid I coached a couple of years ago. This kid was strong, but had no kick. This workout really helped him practice shifting gears for the later stages of the race. <br /><br />We did the workout twice. First time was 2 miles, with mile steady / mile push. Second time was a 1.25 miles with 3/4 steady, 1/2 mile push.Mark Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14050839536807326604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274438111706927359.post-48159193678407972242015-01-13T08:44:10.276-08:002015-01-13T08:44:10.276-08:00Nate ,

Then run1.5 miles at say 5:30 and then 1.5 miles at 5:10. shooting for the 5:20 average. Does That sound right? Or should I start with a shorter faster total volume? Thanks for taking the time Nate, I really do appreciate it. <br />dannynoreply@blogger.com
