Notes
Thurs – Track workout. Attempt this on only if you feel
> > ready.You still have another week of training before 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
