Wednesday: Warm up, 40-45 minutes easy running, three times 150 meters, cool down.

Keep the pace relaxed, at the start, and consider picking it up with ten-fifteen minutes to go.

On your strideouts, work on having some good turnover, but keep the stride outs at a good pace.

Cool down whether it is warm out or not. Remember to drink lots of water afterwards and get out of your wet clothes.
