MOBILITY & WARM UP

On a 8:00 Clock

Partner 1 performs a 100m jog while Partner 2 performs a movement. When Partner 1 returns, they transition to the movement while Partner 2 heads out on the run. After both partners have completed a movement they can progress to the next movement.

Motivate athletes to cycle through two to three times or until the clock hits 8:00.

SKILLS & SPECIFIC WARM UP
Athletes aiming for a sub-7:00 mile pace should rest :30 between warm-up intervals.

3 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.

5 Sets x 100m 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.

1 Set x 200m at Mile Pace
