Workout for Thursday, May 21, 2026,(Week 10, Day 4, Spring 2026)
These are your early Spring workouts. We are now in week ten
Your Thursday workout: Warm-up, 6×150 meter stride-outs, 8 x 400 meters, at Mile pace, with 400 meter walk in between, finish with 2 x 200 meters, 800 meter pace, with 200m walk in between, then cooldown, 20 minutes of easy running. Cooldown stretching.
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.
