⬇️
Main set: 4 X 100m strides (30”). This is a slow progressive increase in speed until you hit 85-90% of max speed. Keep your core tight and try to hit 90 foot strikes/min. 
4 X 800 @10k-15K race pace (1’). This should be a sub-threshold. Focus on great turnover and perfect form. This is a form-based run; don't run too fast or your form will break down. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
4 X 100m strides (30”). Just like the first time through.

Cool down: 15’ jog

Nice work!
