Day 075 - Getting faster

20-minute speed run (level 2)        Training via ActiveMail

DO 20 MINUTES OF RUNNING BODY SPEEDS (SP) AT LEVEL 2 INTENSITY (70-75% of MHR): To do this workout, first warm up for 10-15 minutes. Body Speeds can be done at a track or on the road. If you're using a track, Body Speeds are 200-meter efforts during which you gradually increase your speed. The speed of your 200-meter effort depends on your desired racing speed. If you're on the road, you can do body speeds by gradually increasing your speed for 30 seconds followed by 60-90 seconds of recovery. Repeat the sequence for 20 minutes. Your speed at the end of the 30 seconds should be slightly faster than your desired racing speed. Cool down after the workout with 10-15 minutes of walking and/or easy jogging.
