Again, work to one day cover the distance of your race. Like cycling, try to increase the distance at a pace slower than your normal racing pace, keeping your heart rate near 80 percent of maximum (220 less your age times 80 percent). Once-a-week track workouts are valuable for speed (slightly faster than race pace). Avoid increasing your total weekly mileage more than 10 percent at a time. Run for comfort. Stretch fully after your workout. |
