This week’s Wednesday workout will sharpen your running with a classic stepladder of short, fast bursts followed by an equal recovery distance. Think only people training for NYC or another autumn marathon will benefit? NAY! This is ideal for everyone and is eminently flexible, I’m happy to consult on modifications.
We will meet at 7p at light pole E8301 on East Drive, which is behind The Met and closest to the Hamilton statue. (You know, the rapping Founding Father.) If you are late, please find us on East Drive around 86th Street, that’s where every northbound repeat will begin and southbound recovery will end.
We will have a short re-warmup when we start out a few minutes after 7p, please ensure you run at least 1 mile before arriving.
Molly and Matt, the workout coaches formulating this season’s Wednesday workouts, designed this session to gradually increase in distance to a peak, then reduce back to the starting distance. The 200s should be fast (!!!) while the other intervals should be at your target 5k pace. Here’s the progression:
2x200m w/200m recovery back to starting point
2x400m w/400m recovery back to starting point
1x600m w/600m recovery back to starting point
1x400m w/400m recovery back to starting point
2x200m w/200m recovery back to starting pointHappy to field queries, also happy to monitor backpacks, extra layers, hydration bottles and small servings of stracciatella gelato.
