Session One
VO2 Max
Every 4 Minutes, for 24 Minutes, complete (6 sets):
45 Second Sprints

Beginner/Intermediate – scale the number of sets as needed in order to keep intensity high. If you think 6 will be too much, then do 4.

There is a lot of rest in between the working sets, which means I want these to be near all out efforts – about 95%
Post your distances for each set to the FB group!

Session Two

Endurance Capacity
1/2 Marathon
30 Minute Run
Rest 5 Minutes followed by…
15 Minute Run

Full Marathon 
60 Minute Run
Rest 5 MInutes followed by…
30 Minute Run

Goal is to run these at your race pace, or slightly faster if you can!
Post your distances to the FB group!

Session Three
Lactate Threshold
Three Sets of:
5 Minute Run
4 Minutes Rest

Beginner/Intermediate – scale the number of sets as needed in order to keep intensity high. If you think 3 will be too much, then do 2.

Goal for this workout is to push the intensity in the 5 minutes of running, knowing you have a lot of rest time (4 minutes)
