SPRING HALF MARATHON TRAINING: WEEK 9 (MAY 13-19)
Track Workout: This should be a relatively easy ladder workout. Start at 10k pace. As the reps get shorter, the rest stays the same, which means you should be able to run faster with each rep. Reference specific workout pace chart for splits HERE.
Tempo Workout: Advanced has 5 miles at marathon pace. Keep your efforts under control, this is a cutback week. Total volume on the day will be 7-9 miles. View the pace chart HERE.
