Swift will be using this week for the Race Week Taper prior to JoeDavisRun. We all start at the Vine in Ballantyne. 0500 Early extra warmth option from the Vine – come early to warm-up and shed layers (if necessary)! 0515 Regular option from the Vine – if you’re already half-baked!
The THANG:
- Warm-up (heading to North Community House the LOOOONG way via bridge, SPX, and Aloft hotel)
- Dynamic stretching drills
- 4x1200m @ Threshold Pace (will be slower than your race pace of last week – find it from the calculator at http://runsmartproject.com/calculator ) with 2 minute rest. We’ll do it this way:
- 1200m “North” along North Community House Dr @ Threshold Pace (cones marking each 400m). From our starting point, end will be near the light at Endhaven Ln. Minimum Rest for 2:00 minutes. Feel free to extend rest up to 60 seconds to get a running buddy to start the next one.
- Reverse route of the 1200m “South” along North Community House – use the proper Left side of the road. 2 minute rest.
- 1200m “North” to stop light, 2 minute rest
- 1200m “South” back to start point
- Recovery jog on the route to gather the PAX
- Cool down back to the Vine (route depends on time).
