Workout for Monday, March 24, 2026
This is your early Spring workouts, we are now in week two.
Your Tuesday workout: Warm-up, 6 x 150-meter stride outs, 20 Minute tempo run (run at 25 seconds per mile pace SLOWER than current 5k pace), five minutes, easy running, 4 x 800-meter pace, at current two-mile/3k race pace, jog 400 meters, in between, 4 x 400 meters, at current two-mile/3k pace, 200 meters jog, 15 minutes of easy running, cooldown stretching, and HYDRATE!
Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration is not about drinking lots of sugary drinks; it is about getting down water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 oz a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine intake and carbonated sugar drinks, which are absolute crap for a real athlete. Also, stay away from the so-called sports energy drinks and do not combine them with alcohol. Why train your butt off and then mess it up by putting some junk in your mortal engine?
Think before you drink.
Do you want to be a better track runner than you were in the past? Focus and follow our training. It is all about the consistency.
