In a long run or long walk, I let my mind go. Especially, in the pandemic, a 90-minute walk has begun a week on a positive note. Enjoy you long run. Know how lucky you are.

Sunday: Long run, 50-55 minutes, at a conversational pace.
Why do I love this workout?
I used to warm up, a couple miles, then do these repeats at the Rose Garden, San Jose, CA. This workout has you going 250 plus meters a run and it helps sharpen you.
I used to love this sharpening without once a week to race a good 3000m, 5000m or 10,000m.

Saturday: warm-up (1 mile easy, stretch), 20 x 45 seconds, at 1600m pace, 2-minute jogging, on trails, cooldown.
I always liked his workout, as I could go Fast on the way back. Enjoy!

I like this workout. A good Tuesday workout. It challenges you and helps build you to compete. Pay attention to the stretching prior and post workout.

It was a crazy weekend of athletics. From Thursday to Saturday, in the famed Tyson Athletics Center, an NCAA Indoor champs was held where athletes ran, jumped and threw at levels that showed their frustration at missing an entire year of indoor track & field, outdoor track & field and cross country due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
Today, March 15, in Stillwater, Oklahoma, they held the NCAA cross country championships, at Oklahoma State University.
