2021 SUMMER MARATHON TRAINING: WEEK 6 (JULY 12 TO 18)
Track Workouts: This week we run a cutdown ladder starting with 1 mile at tempo pace and then work down to 200m at 5k pace. You will want to stay controlled on the 1 mile tempo portion of the workout and then stay within the 5k range for the shorter intervals. The rest is just 2 min. after each interval, so pace wisley. Reference specific split chart HERE.
Tempo: This week Advanced runners have a continuous 5 mile tempo run. Aim to run even or negative splits, and your last mile split should be your fastest. Be sure to take distance and temperature into account when selecting your tempo pace. Tempo pace chart can be referenced HERE
