Workout Notes

  • This workout must be done on a flat route. Your 200m fast-paced running should feel like approximately 90% of your maximum sprinting speed. Your 400m fast-paced running should feel like approximately 80% of your maximum sprinting speed.
  • You should be out of breath by the end of each segment of fast-paced running (for both 200m and 400m). If you are not breathing hard, then you are not pushing hard enough! The period of walking/slow jogging is your recovery time, which allows your heart rate to lower so that you can push hard again on the next fast-paced segment.
  • Be tough! It’s important to keep pushing hard during the second half of the workout, during the fast-pace running segments.
