TODAY IS YOUR TRACK WORKOUT: RUN 3 REPEAT MILES AT 70% MHR: "Repeat miles" simply means that you repeat the 1-mile distance 3 times, with a break between each mile. When your workout calls for "repeats," the local high school or college track is the easiest place to do them because the distances are already measured for you. The inside lane of the track is 1/4 mile, so 4 laps around the inside lane is one mile. Today, and for every track workout, start by jogging 1 mile as a warm-up. Run your first repeat mile at 70% MHR. Walk 1 lap to recover, then do your second repeat mile. Walk 1 lap to recover, then do the 3rd mile. Walk 1/2 mile (2 laps) to cool down. Keep in mind that 70% of your maximum heart rate should feel like a fairly easy effort. Many people who are inexperienced with heart-rate training tend to go harder than they should. A heart rate monitor is a great way to "keep a lid" on your effort, ensuring you're not overtraining.
