2021 SUMMER MARATHON TRAINING: WEEK 4 (JUNE 28 TO JULY 4)

Track Workout: This week we are up to 800m repeats (2 laps), running them in what is known as the Yasso format. For this workout you simply run the equivalent marathon time as an 800m split. For example: Goal Marathon Time of 4:00:00 hours = 4:00 minutes per 800m split. Focus on pacing and running each lap evenly For specific chart click HERE.

Tempo: This week Advanced runners have a continuous 4 mile tempo run. Aim to run even or negative splits, with your last mile split being your fastest. For your specific tempo pace you can reference the pace chart HERE.
