SKILLS & SPECIFIC WARM UP
Athletes aiming for a sub-7:00 mile pace should rest :30 between warm-up intervals.
Athletes aiming for a 7:00-10:00 mile pace should rest from :30-1:00 between warm-up intervals.
Athletes can also partner up and alternate 100m warm-up efforts.
4 Sets x 100m Jog
Rest between sets.
Run at a sustainable, “infinite pace.”
Help athletes identify how long it takes to run the distance. This will help them identify a fast but sustainable pace for the mile.
Anyone running to the point of fatigue is running too fast right now.
1 Sets x 400m Jog
Rest between sets.
The goal of these sets is to establish a target mile pace. If athletes look heavily taxed or fatigued in these intervals, they should run a little slower. Use the rest time between intervals to update athletes on their paces.
400M PACE | 1000M PACE | 1200 TIME GOAL |
---|---|---|
1.40 | 4.11 | ~4.34 |
1.43 | 4.20 | ~4.50 |
1.47 | 4.29 | ~5.10 |
1.51 | 4.38 | ~5.42 |
1.55 | 4.49 | ~5.55 |
