Track Workouts and Information
This week you have your choice of workouts. Either “The Lou” or “The Deek”
The Lou is a good pre-marathon workout and is recommended for Chicago Marathoners. It is one continuous run of 4800 meters, with the first 800 right at goal MP and each successive 800 run four seconds faster than the previous one (2 seconds faster per lap).
The Deek is alsoa continuous run. It is a 5k pace session. 4800, 5400 or 6000 meters. Think of it as 8, 9, or 10 “blocks” of 600. Run the first 400 of each block at 5k race pace. Then run the next 200 at easy “float” pace. Then start the next block.
