| The following is a sample of the different workout programs we follow. Each program adds up to a total of 3 miles. The recommended rest period for every 400 meters run (one lap) is one minute, for every 800 (2 laps) is 2 minutes, and for anything greater than that is 3 minutes. You should try to run the single laps (400's) at a faster pace than the 800's, 800's slightly faster than 1200's, and so on. |
| Workouts | |
|---|---|
| Name | Description |
| 400 / 800 #1 | 400; 800; 400; 400; 800; 400; 400; 800; 400. An easy way to think of this is 3 rotations of 400; 800; 400. |
| 800's | 6 rotations of 800's. Kind of boring at times. |
| Ladder | 400; 800; 1200; 1200; 800; 400. Not as bad as it sounds! |
| Mile Repeats | 3 * 1 mile repeats. Not recommended during the summer! |
| 400 / 800 #2 | 4 rotations of 400/800 |
