Track Workout: 300s and Sprint Jogs


I hit the track for the first time this year, which gives me roughly six months to get into shape for nationals. Early in the season, I prefer to do longer distances, working on cardiovascular endurance and my stride.

There were two parts to my workout tonight: 300s and sprint jogs. I did 4 300 meter runs with 100 meter jog recovery. I ran the 300s in 55 seconds and jogged the curve in 55 seconds, and repeated this 4 times. This is a sprint jog: sprint 50m, jog 50m, sprint 100m, jog 100m, sprint 200m, jog 200m, sprint 100m, jog 100m, sprint 50m, jog 50m. I did two of these, with a 200m walk recovery.

The sprint jogs are a good workout for you guys this time of year. A very good workout would consist of 3 or 4 sprint jogs. 300s are probably a little long for this time in your season.
