Notes

Thurs – Track workout. Attempt this on only if you feel ready.You still have another week of training before the race, so keep that in mind. Warm up at least 2 mile, get the legs nice and limber and stretch them before you begin the workout and remember to do strides before you begin to get the legs up to speed. Don’t wait too long before ending the warm up and starting the workout. 6 X 800m at your goal pace for the Talkin’ Turkey race w/ 400m jog recovery in between. Make sure you stay on pace, going out too fast will lead to mass sufferage toward the end. Keep watch on your pace! Go out too slow if anything, it is easier to get back on track after 400m that to slow down. This will be a simulation of the upcoming race, just with the distance halved. It should be challenging but you should be ready for it. So, if you want to run 8 min pace in the race, make sure your pace is 4 min per 800m and that you are hitting the 400 split at 2 min. Stay focused and get through it, it will be mentally challenging more than physically. 1-2 mile cool down. Know what you need to do before you go out there and stay strong. This will be a great indicator for the race.
