This week, we’ll go back to longer intervals with shorter rest periods in order to build endurance strength in preparation for those May 5 milers that are coming up. In order to accustom you to target race pace for a 5 mile race, run the repeats at 10K race pace – 10 seconds. Afterwards, we’ll introduce some plyometric techniques to increase power output and add a little spring to your step.
