Prospect Park Thursday Speed Workout
- December 6, 2012 · 7:00 PM
We are hosting weekly "track" workouts at Prospect Park every Thursday evening. The workouts will be identical to the East River Park Track workout of the week, which will be posted at least 24 hours beforehand.
Although there is no track at Prospect Park, we'll find the flattest part of the park to do the scheduled workout.
All paces are welcome. Please comment in Talk about this Meetup if you have any questions!

Here's a cool running video of the Oklahoma State cross country team doing a similar workout (progressive mile repeats instead of 800s, but same concept): http://www.flotrack.org/coverag...
. Like their coach says, it's more important to do more than to start and progress too fast.December 6

Recommended workout for Dec. 6: One-mile warmup, then...
RUNNERS WITH A DEEP TRAINING BASE (lots of recent speedwork): Progressively faster 800m repeats with short recovery. Do first 800m at estimated marathon pace, then do each subsequent 800m 20sec/mile faster. Recover by jogging just 200m after each repeat, and keep going until you can no longer speed up the required amount. Finish the workout with an easy mile.
ALTERNATIVE FOR RUNNERS WHO ARE BUILDING THEIR BASE (not much recent speedwork): 1 mile warmup, then 4 x 800m at half marathon pace, with 400m recovery. Finish with 1-2 easy miles.
