Week 8 - September 23rd
The Workout
Marathoners: 4 miles continuous on track – ½ marathon pace
Middle Distance: 6 x 600 (200 rest) at 5k pace or faster
A light jog (as opposed to walking or standing) during the recovery interval is important because (1) it keeps the heart rate at a steady, elevated level, and (2) it helps the recovery time to stay consistent.
