Hi,
I hope to run around 1:56 to 1:58 and I was wondering are these good workouts.
5x 400 400 meter jog recovery 57,58,58,59,56
8x300meter 2:00 recovery 42,44,44,45,45,44,44,42
8x 200 200 jog recovery 26,28,28,28,29,30,28,27
All out 600 1:26
My pr from last year 2:03
I couldn't do any of those except the 600 (I've run 1:22 in practice w/flying start). A more typical anaerobic workout for me would be 5x300 w/2:30 in ~43-44. Hard one would be 3x400 w/5min rest in ~55-56.
Bump
you are clearly a 1:58 guy if not better as indicated by these workouts
a good general interval/anaerobic workout is 200s with short rest at goal pace
8 x 200 @ 29-30 with 30 seconds rest between reps, 3:00 rest between 2 sets of 4
You have actually done these workouts?
Certainly you can run 1:57. Sometimes you need to get a few races under the belt.
Some time ago, I was a 1:57 guy, workouts like 3 miles warm up, 5 @ 100 stride, 3 @ 400 56, 55, 54 with a longish rest between. But I never got any faster than 1:57, what do I really know?
The 600 is good, but make a fast 600 part of a series of intervals, not a time trial.
Good luck!
Yes I did these workouts. I did the 400 repeats last week and 200 repeats last week. The 300s,we're done 2 weeks ago and the 600 time trial a littlle over 3 weeks ago
You are a 1:57 guy, you just haven't done it yet.
