I saw an ATC athlete post on their social media today about their workout. Is there any positive training effects from something like this? It seems ridiculous. To me, it's overkill.
800 time trial
12 min rest
6*800 w/200 jog
3 min
4*200
I don't know pages but knew plenty of folks who have run for them in the past who said the pages were always fast. I assume prescribed pace for the 800's would be 2:12 or so and the 200's @26 (for the men).
*Atalanta
Read a book. 🙄
That's got to be the most pointless reply I've ever seen.
What is your point of view on the workout for the Atlanta Track Club?
So funny. Atalanta. Wow. Brought a lot to the topic. Props.

Atlanta and Atalanta are 2 different clubs.

What are pages?
That seems like a somewhat normal post race workout if it's a do sparingly kind of thing. 800 is short so you throw on a strength/speed combo workout afterwards. Seems fine. My opinion would change if the 800s were done harder than 5k pace. Would want to see them more like 10k pace. Not a ton of volume for most people to handle who would attempt something like that.

What is your point of view here (are you distance / mid D / sprint background)? Slightly over 6k of volume shouldn't be an overkill for an elite mid distance runner, even after a race effort 800.

Seems normal. Get this off the main feed

LR is pretty convinced all elite runners plod 140mpw, don't do any speedwork until 3 weeks before worlds/olympics. if they say otherwise they're lying to trick other training groups
Seems right for a mid distance club. They used to have a 10K-marathon team, but the current leadership seems more focused on non-road racing events.
