2022 RunBlogRun Spring Middle Distance Daily Track Training (800m-5000m), Week 21, Day 2

[Larry Eder]

This is Tuesday. Your workout is two series of 150m sprints (ten in each set), get up to high speed, and keep lifting your knees. This type of workout is challenging, but it will help you with your finish. My best tip about the finish of a race is to divide the 400m into four sections, and in each 100m, try to increase the pace, always holding something left for the last 100 meters!
