WINTER HALF MARATHON TRAINING: WEEK 3 (NOV 21-27)

Speed Workout: This week we take it up to 600m repeats running between 5k-1mi pace. You will want to start conservative and then get faster as the workout progresses. You get a full 3 minute rest after each 600m repeat. Focus on good leg turnover and mechanics. You should be running at a good speed but not all out. Reference specific split chart HERE. Tempo: Advanced runners have what are considered “cruise intervals”, running 3 x 1 mile at tempo pace with a 1-2 minute rest between each 1 mile interval. Each interval is meant to be run at 80-90% effort level. Aim to run even or negative splits, your last split should be your fastest. For your specific tempo pace you can reference the pace chart HERE.
