Run-Down Forums

[Guest]

We are now a week into January. The beginning of my sophomore track season is 2 months away. I've kept my running up quite well since the end of CC season. I'm looking to improve my 1600m time. Any advice on good workouts, exercises or anything else that will help will be appreciated.

From the training section, here are my favorite 1500m workouts:

1) 12x400m at 1500m date pace or slightly faster, with a 200m jog recovery between each interval and a 600m jog between sets of four (three sets).

2) 1200m time trial. Sounds crazy, but it is an excellent indicator of what you can run the 1500m in, and it really doesn't take all that much out of you.

3) 4x800m at 1500m date pace or slightly slower, with a 400m jog recovery after each.

Good luck,
Dan
