    Thursday Track Day

    Bob Jones High School, 650 Hughes Rd, Madison · verified Aug 9
    See details

    This track workout at Bob Jones High School centers on 1K repeats that feel simple at the start and increasingly demanding by the fourth rep. Arrive a little early to jog a few easy laps so you are warmed up before the work begins. The session opens with a pre-set of two to four rounds of 200 meters fast followed by 200 meters easy to prime the legs. The main set is run at current 5K effort, strong and controlled rather than all-out. Beginners complete three 1,000 meter repeats with three to four minutes of standing recovery, focusing on even splits and learning the true feel of 5K pace. Intermediate runners do five 1,000 meter repeats with 90 seconds of standing rest, keeping the pace honest across the set. Advanced athletes take on six 1,000 meter repeats with a 400 meter jog at about three quarters effort between reps, keeping the float uncomfortable but manageable as the final reps require extra focus. The goal is steady pacing, smart recovery, and consistent execution from the first interval to the last.
