300m Speed Work repetitions
I just finished a 7.116km running that lasted about 0hh:40mm:27ss !
Very cold and humid day today, perfect for speed work.
After 2km of warm-up and 3 or 4 short sprints and mobility exercises, I have improvised 10 repetitions of 300m at a good pace, between 3'50 "/ km and 3'20 / km the last one, the recovery has been active.
When I say "active" I mean that I have only had a 100m jog break between repetitions, that is, I have done 10 laps on the track, 300m fast, 100m slow but without stopping.
I felt pretty good, started slow and added a bit more speed as the reps went by.
The recovery between repetitions has been a bit short, maybe it should have been longer but the beauty of the exercise is having the restriction of completing 1 lap of the track including speed work and recovery.
This type of training is one of the best in my opinion, very demanding but not boring.
Keep on running!

Nice workout. I like this type of training on the track but I've been lazy and didn't do that for a long while. Last time, I think I was repeating half a lap sprinting, half a lap very slow, but not stopping. I am never sure what the optimal interval is.
